Important things to include in a trailer

There are a few important things a film trailer must included for it to appear professional and proper. it will be important for my group and i to use these, to conform to the conventions of a typical teaser trailer.

All film trailers must include the MPAA green band rating at the start of the preview. this shows that the film has been approved, and professionally rated, so to be suitable for its target audience. This green band rating specifically says the film is 'restricted'. this will be due to content that will not be suitable for certain audiences, and this certain band will apply and be used for most horror films.

another important convention of a film trailer is the production company, which is represented along with the green band, usually at the start of the trailer. Here i have included an image of the famous '20th Century Fox' corporation company, which will be recognised bye anyone and everyone, being such a large and well established corporation, it is found to be part of the production of hundreds of films.

I have also done some research into production companies that would be likely to sponsor a British and independent horror film. I thought 'Film Four' would be the most likely candidate, as well as companies such as 'Optimum Releasing'.

This is the logo for the company 'Optimum Releasing' which are specific and found to sponsor independent filming.
