The Dark Knight teaser trailer


Does it follow the typical conventions of a drama/action trailer?
This trailer follows some of the typical conventions of a drama/action trailer including; that it is narrated by the characters from the film and there is dramatic non-diegetic music. However there are also some conventions that this trailer does not follow. Usually in action/drama films there are clips from the film giving an insight to watch the genre is by the characters, props and locations used, however this trailer is more reliant on the effects and colours used, for example black is typically used to represent drama.
Does it follow the typical conventions of a teaser trailer?
This trailer follows the typical length of a teaser trailer being 55 seconds long. It only has a vague release date, ‘summer 2008’, and the production logos are used at the beginning of the trailer which is are typical conventions of a teaser trailer. This trailer also reveals the title of the film near to the end of the trailer, which is normally when the title is revealed in teaser trailers. Usually in a teaser trailer there are small amounts of clips from the film used, however in this trailer there are no clips so this trailer does not follow the all the typical conventions of a teaser trailer.  By using no clips the main characters from the film are not introduced, which is usually done in a teaser trailer.
