Make a Movie Teaser
Want to make a teaser for your movie so you can show others? Read on.
Steps
- Decide what the movie is going to be about, and what type of action you'll make. Two examples are live action and animation.
- Write a rough script, and jot down production notes: who the characters are, the setting, the theme, etc.
- Watch videos on YouTube or something of the sort and watch home-made teaser films. Notice their style and technique (but don't copy them).
- Cast for your characters, if they have speaking parts. Choose carefully. If there will be an actual movie following, the characters should match up with the ones to be in the movie. (Unless, of course, you have miscellaneous extras in it, too, that will not be in the movie.)
- Get your camera or computer running and go! Don't be afraid to redo several things. Filming and writing (especially so with group effort) is very hard at times, but can be very rewarding.
- Leave nothing ambiguous.
Tips
- If you have your movie done, you may use some of the actual footage to make the teaser.
- Holding the camera on a stand or tripod will keep it from shaking.
- Don't be afraid to improve or redesign.
