As you can see the difference in the length of the trailers is quite significant. However, this is not always the case as teaser trailers can be anything from a matter of seconds to a minute and a half. Sometimes even 2 minutes.
The teaser trailer usually shows just one or two exciting parts of the movie. The whole idea of a teaser trailer is to "tease" the viewersThis leaves the audience wanting more, and guarantees that if its as exciting as the producers hope it is, then the audience will consider watching it at the cinema, or maybe even purchase it on DVD when it is released. A teaser trailer is often only used for the release of a blockbuster film or a sequel to an exisiting film. Also, sometimes the teaser trailer is put out to an audience before the filming of the film has been completely finished. This creates a certain amount of hype, and any budding fans of the trailer would then spread rumours about the movie ("Word of mouth"), whether they are good or bad rumours depends on the persons take on the trailer of course.
The theatrical trailer is 2:11, which allows for more captions, it lets the audiences thoughts brew more in the mind, shows more of the action and some exposition of what is happening and why, yet it still manages to keep the main plot line out, and allows you to establish some characterisation. There is no chronological order for the trailers, leaving the audience mystified by the action, again leaving them on a sort of cliffhanger, which makes them want to see it even more. Theatrical trailers are usually released a short time before its due for release in cinemas.
