The differences and similarities between the trailers for both the films 'Spy Kids' and 'The Fault In Our Stars'
Theatrical trailers are a lot longer than both teaser trailers and TV spots, therefore this results in more information about the film being given away. For example in the Spy Kids theatrical trailer it included all of the exciting parts of the film, introducing several of the characters including the main ones. As well as this, it has upbeat background music to reinforce the genre of the film and many general trailer conventions such as the title of the film, a voice over, editing techniques such as fade in/out and release date etc. Moreover, the fault in our stars theatrical trailer also includes mainly all of these conventions. However, the only small differences between the two trailers is that in the Fault In Our Stars trailer the music is more gentle/serious due to it having a different type of genre in comparison to the Spy Kids. The trailer also includes tag lines in order to give away a bit about the story as well as the genre, this is another convention which was again not in the Spy Kids trailer.
On the other hand, teaser trailers have a lot more differences to a theatrical trailer as both of them have different aims. A teaser trailer is quite simply made in order to tease and hype the aimed at audience about a new film coming out. Due to this the trailer only gives away very little information about the film, we usually do not get to meet the majority of characters. They do include conventions such as impact sounds, tag lines in order to reveal a bit about the story and genre, images from the film, a few different pieces of music etc. The editing pace is very quick and intense in comparison to a theatrical trailer, as it has a shorter amount of time to fit everything they need into it. Both types of trailers often include similar editing techniques and conventions such as cuts, fades in/out, voiceovers, the tile of film, credits etc. Although the one convention that is mainly found in just teaser trailers is a non-specific release date, because normally these types of trailers come out a long way before the film actually comes out. All of the conventions I have mentioned which are used in teaser trailers are seen in both the Spy Kids and the Fault In Our Stars trailers, although the more suitable choice of editing, pace and music type are used in order to give away genre.
Last but not least, TV spot trailers are very similar to teaser trailers, however TV spots usually come out when the film is also out in cinemas to encourage the audience to go and see it. They normally include a bit of dialogue, tag lines to tell us a bit about the film and genre, rating, specific release date and a very quick editing pace. Not a lot of the story line is given away purposely to allow the trailer to tease the audience and make them want to go see it. Both the "Spy Kids" and "The Fault in our Stars" TV spots include similar conventions such as: very quick shots from different parts of the film, don't learn much about the characters, voice overs, background music, name of the film and it's logo towards the end and the announcement of it's release date. Although the only differences between the TV spots may be if it reveals the film's rating which The Fault in our Stars does and the different background music types according to the genre and story line of the film.
