What is a Trailer? What is a Teaser Trailer? (part 3)

The Master

This Teaser Trailer firstly begins with the 'Appropriate Audiences' certificate, however it does say that the film is rated R (restricted) and ages 17+ should only be accompanied by an adult. This shows the film is not suitable for all and instead of being a mainstream film, could infact be an Arthouse film.Soon after the 'Appropriate Audiences' certificate the production logos then flash up for TWC and Annapurna Pictures.

These productions logos flash up in time with a loud banging sound effect created by a man banging his fists against the table shown in the first clip of the teaser trailer. This banging sound than contunues througout the whole trailer and blends in slowly into a quiet musical score. The banging also increases in tempo as the trailer goes on which creates rising tension along with the clips seen in the trailer.

From the type of things that happen in the clip and the diologue used which is 'old' in the sense that the actors speak in well spoken English Grammar suggests that the genre of the film is a Drama. Many of the scenes shown in the trailer such is fighting and suggestions of intimate scenes between couples may be seen as unsuitable for all audiences again suggesting the film may be an Arthouse film. Another suggestion that the film is Arthouse is at the end when the Title of the film is shown and the actors names that are in it, the Director's and Writer's names are also shown at the end of the film, this is something not normally shown on a mainstream film, instead it reminded me a bit like credits for a film.
