2012 Teaser and Official comparison

There is a noticable difference between both 2012 trailers. The teaser's intention is to grip the audience and keep them interested- wanting more. The official trailer gives the audience a sneak peak at what will be in the actual movie. Chances are, if you liked the trailer, you'll love the movie. The official trailer features a voice-over and longer clips of the movie which gives the audience a stronger sense of what the end result of the film will be than the teaser, which contrastingly shows very little footage of the actual movie and is usually moved along by mysterious text that forces the viewers to think a bit. The music/sound seems to be far more dramatic in the teaser trailer than in the official trailer. The purpose if this is to draw the audience in, making the official trailer seem more effective due to it being more accurate and less dramatic, which is not the point of the offical trailer.

  1. You write that the official trailer is more effective, but surely the two trailers have different intentions. The producers want them to do different things. What are the different purposes of the two trailers? Are they successful in those terms?

  2. yh I agree with you Reece, the music is somewhat entices the viewer into watching the film and the scenes from the official trailer makes the viewer to want to see the film as the trailer consists of Tragedy and freak accidents in which many would like to see how the special effects are put into practise
