Conventions of film trailers:
1) They all feature a disclaimer of what age group is suitable to watch the movie, e.g. PG
2)Titles which display the directors name and the actors/actresses etc, which attracts the audience as some prefer certain actors and directors. It also lets you know when the film will be in cinemas.
3)Voiceovers is often common and helps to give the audience more information about characters, before even watching the film. Music also helps audiences enjoy watching the trailer more.
4)Ends with a cliffhanger so that it doesn't give away too much.
5)Montage editing towards the end
6)The introduction of main characters.
