Comparison of Sorority Row Teaser & Theatrical Trailer

In comparison of the teaser trailer to the theatrical trailer they are very different. There is only one clip that is the same in the trailers. This shot is when a girl in the film drinks out of a bottle and something pushes the bottle down into her mouth trying to kill her, however this is a quick shot. Throughout the teaser trailer there are a number of dolly and tracking shots, this is a lot different to the theatrical trailer as they have a number of different camera angles, e.g. at the beginning there is an establishing shot of the school.

In the teaser trailer there is only one actor in it and the villain. This is very different to the theatrical trailer as there are over seven main actors staring and also other people in the backing shots. The people in the backing shots in the theatrical trailer help give of a different vibe to the beginning of the trailer, the beginning of the trailer is happy and how a teenager’s lifestyle is e.g. parties. However in the teaser trailer there is no fun sprits at all and you can also not tell which age range this film is targeted to.

The music in both trailers is very different. The music in the theatrical trailer is very upbeat at the beginning and changes throughout the trailer as the horror like shots are brought in. In the teaser trailer the music is more slow and repetitive, not something you would imagine to be in a horror, the only time the music changes slightly is when the girl gets the bottle pushed down her throat quickly, the music at this point goes loud, this is the jump shot of the teaser.

There is no voice over in the teaser trailer like there is in the theatrical trailer. This could be because this is a trailer that is teasing the audience, due to the fact it is teasing the audience it would be too much to have a voice over, as it will be giving to many things away.

Overall the teaser trailer and the theatrical trailer are very different and do not have many comparisons.
