Common features of trailers - 'Coming Soon'

All trailers include some sort of release date, wether it be an actual date or just 'Coming Soon'. Below are some examples of this. When editing our film we will have to keep this convention in mind, as including it creates a more authentic film trailer. As we are producing a teaser, rather than a trailer, this means we will have 'Coming Soon' rather than a date. This is because teaser trailers are usually released a long time before the actual film is released, therefore the release date is a mystery at that time.


From looking at the screen shots above and previous research on film trailers of the supernatural horror genre, I have gained the idea of using a black background with a white/ light blue font, as this reflects the feeling of a ghost. I'm not sure if I will have this faded or not, but will test it, as it may not look as noticeable. This will work well instead of having the typical red and black colour scheme of horror films, as it hints at the supernatural qualities included.
