The differences between a teaser trailer and a main theatrical trailer.

A teaser trailer - A teaser trailer is quite a short trailer to advertise a film, television programme, video game etc. that is about to be released. It is also usually released long in advance of the product so it teases the audience. Unlike theatrical trailers, teaser trailers are very short and can last up to 30-60 seconds. Their purpose is to let the audience know less about a movie's content and to just tell them when it is coming out in the future to get everyone excited. They are usually made when the film is still

 A theatrical trailer - A theatrical trailer is a preview of a film that is going to be released in the cinema in the future. It contains a lot of scenes from the film that will give a hint of the story line to hopefully persuade the audience to go watch it. The series of shots from the trailer may not appear in the order in the film. A theatrical trailer lasts longer than a teaser trailer, it lasts about two and a half minutes.


This is an example of a teaser and a theatrical trailer from the film 'The Strangers'.
