Codes and Conventions of a Film Trailer

  • A VOICE OVER - This could be a narrator, voicing over some of the pictures shown in the trailer, but they tend to not give too much information away, as it is only a trailer. 
  • FOOTAGE - Selected footage from the film will be shown, this doesn't have to be in chronological order. This will give the audience an idea of the genre, the plot and the age group/gender it is aimed at.  
  • TITLES - may reveal something about the film. They may also be relevant to the footage being shown. 
  • OPENING - there is always an opening which establishes setting and introduces the character/s. 
  • EVENTS - a series of events are shown where people try to overcome obstacles and solve problems.
