Comparing Different Types of Trailers - Conclusion
The release dates for different types of film trailers vary greatly. Teaser trailers typically have a vague release date, such as 'January 2023', as the film's release may still be over a year away. In contrast, TV spots are more specific, often released in the final week before the film comes out, therefore the release date may be more immediate such as 'This Friday'. The release date for a theatrical trailer is also close to a film's release, but more specific than a teaser trailer, such as 'January 13'.
The editing style in each type of trailer also differs. Teaser trailers often have a variety of transitions (such as fades and dissolves), while TV spots feature quick flashes of different clips from the film, and have a much quicker pace overall, with the transitions tending to be cuts. Theatrical trailers have slower editing at times, with more fades and dissolves to show scenes from different parts of the film (though there is usually a much quicker montage at the end).
The length of each trailer also varies. Teaser trailers are shorter than theatrical trailers, lasting around one minute thirty seconds. TV spots are shorter, typically around thirty seconds. Theatrical trailers are the longest, often around two minutes thirty seconds.
What each type of trailer reveals about the film to the audience is also distinct. Theatrical trailers include detailed information about the plot and introduce multiple characters. Teaser trailers reveal little about the plot, withholding information to pique the audience's interest. TV spots focus primarily on action or visually striking moments to entice viewers to watch the film.
