Music - This is of paramount importance when it comes to film trailers. This sets the trailer with a type of atmosphere depending on the genre of the film. Types of music used can be:
- Songs by where the company making the trailer has to acquire rights to use this that could be expensive.
- A piece could be composed which makes it more suited and personalized towards the film trailer.
Billing Block - A billing block is the small text used normally at the start or end of trailers which lists the important roles and people who did this particular role.
Cast Run - This is a list of actors/actresses that are shown in the trailer to increase the awareness (and potential sales) of the film, if they have big name actors, actresses, directors or producers.
Studio Production Logos - These are the logos of the companies who made/distributed the film, which are generally shown at the end of the trailer.
Video Resolution - The resolution of the trailer is normally in the same format as the actual film (either 35mm reels or digital format.) Now because of ever-increasing Internet speeds, film trailers are now released in 1080p resolution on video sharing sites.
Sound Mix - Modern trailers now use the Dolby Digital sound format, and scenes that are of importance in a trailer try to make use of this format through using effects and other means to make full use of the sound technology.
