  • Voiceovers are used to tell the story and to give credit information.
  • Stars of the film are show cased.
  • Key points are sometimes conveyed through titles.
  • Conversation between angles often consist of one liners.
  • Dramatic camera angles may be chosen to show events or characters.
  • Action is interspersed with actor/ director credits on the screen.
  • Music creates atmosphere, which is important in a trailer.
  • Titles appear at the end.
  • Montage is sometimes used, to highlight the most dramatic or humourous parts of the film.
