Definition of Teaser Trailer

A teaser trailer is released by the producers of a film, in aim to cuase hype about their film attracting as much attention as possible, therefore to eventually have people in the cinema watching their films. They are a piece of breif footage, usually around the 30 second mark, painting a rough picture for what their film entales, it doesn't nessciserialy involve footage from the actual film, in a lot of cases the teaser trailer is realsed before the film has even finished or even began being filmed. They often feature scenes or alternate versions of scenes that are not in the finished film.

Teaser trailers today are increasingly focused on internet downloading and the convention circuit and are are usually only made for big-budget and popularly themed movies.

"Recent examples of major motion picture events that used teaser trailers to gain hype are the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the new Star Wars films and the Spider-Man films."

Teaser trailers are usually shown among other movie previews, and appear months before the longer and more detailed theatrical trailer does. Some teasers have been known to appear as long as nine months to a year prior to the movie's final release date. Most DVD versions of these movies will have both their teaser and theatrical trailers in their bonus sections.
