Closer Analysis of Theatrical Trailers - Conclusion

From watching the different theatrical trailers I have noticed that they are usually much longer (around two-and-a-half minutes) than other kinds of trailers, delivering far more narrative information and introducing characters and their traits. 

Some of the conventions I have found, which I will include if I decide to make a theatrical trailer for my film, include:

• Production company logos/idents at the beginning
• Names of famous actors and crew (including the director)
• Specific release date
• Tagline
• More narrative revealed
• More shots and longer montages
• Exciting/ dramatic music
• Eye candy
• The name of the film (at the end)
• Credits
• Social media/website
