Whats A Teaser
A person or thing that teases. A drapery or flat piece across the top of the proscenium arch that masks the flies and that, together with the tormentors, forms a frame for the stage opening. An advertisement that lures customers or clients by offering a bonus, gift, or the like. A person who tempts someone sexually with no intention of satisfying the desire aroused. More example sentences. ‘He was the teaser of them all, and was a huge flirt.’. An inferior stallion or ram used to excite mares or ewes before they are served by the stud animal. Something used to put a female in heat. 'The bible clearly hates what you are and threatens you with death simply because you happen to be gay and not straight, son. In layman terms, a teaser is a parlay bet that uses modified point spreads. In football, the most common modification is six points. So let’s say this week there are three bets you like: Jets.
A teaser campaign, also known as a pre-launch campaign, is an advertising campaign which typically consists of a series of small, cryptic, challenging advertisements that anticipate a larger, full-blown campaign for a product launch or otherwise important event; these advertisements are called 'teasers' or 'teaser ads'.
For films[edit]
A teaser trailer is a short video segment related to an upcoming film, television program, video game, or similar, that is usually released long in advance of the product, so as to 'tease' the audience;[1] an early example of the teaser trailer was the one for the 1978 Superman film by Richard Donner, which was designed to re-invigorate interest on the part of potential movie-goers, for a film whose release had been delayed.
Film teasers are usually made for big-budget and popularly themed movies.[2] Their purpose is less to tell the audience about a movie's content than simply to let them know that the movie is coming up in the near future, and to add to the hype of the upcoming release.[3] Teaser trailers are often made while the film is still in production or being edited, and as a result they may feature scenes or alternate versions of scenes that are not in the finished film.[4][5] Often they contain no dialogue and some — notably Pixar films — have scenes made for use in the trailer only.[5] Some teaser trailers show a quick montage of scenes from the film.[6] The average length of a teaser is less than a minute.[3]
Teaser trailers today are increasingly focused on Internet downloading and the fan convention circuit. The teaser for the 1989 Batman film starring Michael Keaton was an emergency marketing move that successfully convinced angered comic book fans that the film would respect the source material.[citation needed]
Later examples of major motion picture events that used teaser trailers to gain hype are The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Star Wars prequels, and the Spider-Man films. The Da Vinci Code teaser trailer was released even before a single frame of the movie had been shot.[citation needed]Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's teaser trailer was released surprisingly late, but when it was pushed back from November 21, 2008 to July 17, 2009.
When the first teaser for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace was attached to the films The Siege, A Bug's Life, and Meet Joe Black, it was reported that many people had paid for admission to the film just to watch the trailer and subsequently walked out after the trailer had been screened.[7] Similarly, teasers for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith were shown before the Pixar films Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles, respectively. The teaser trailer for Cloverfield was first publicly shown attached to the film Transformers; at that point, nothing about the former was known, and the one-and-a-half-minute teaser did not include the movie title; only the producer's name, J. J. Abrams, and a release date, 1.18.08, were shown. The teaser trailer for another film directed by Abrams, Star Trek, was attached to Cloverfield itself, depicting the starship USS Enterprise being constructed on Earth, and again showing no title, instead just showing the Starfleet Insignia; the Star Trek teaser trailer originally announced the release date as Christmas 2008, but the movie was eventually delayed to May 8, 2009, making the wait between the teaser trailer and the movie itself 16 months. Other teasers also do not explicitly display the film's title, but reveal it in the URL for the website.
Whats A Teaser Ram
Teaser often create hype in media to such extent that they get leaked. Avengers: Infinity War and 2.0 prove to be such examples. The teaser (the director's version) of '2.0' was released weeks before it was officially released on YouTube.
DVD and Blu-ray releases of movies will usually contain both their teaser and theatrical trailers as special features. One of the most notable exceptions to this rule is Spider-Man,[editorializing] whose teaser trailer featured an unrelated plot of bank robbers escaping in a helicopter, getting caught from behind and propelled backward into what at first appears to be a net, then is shown to be a gigantic spider web spun between the two towers at the World Trade Center.[8] This teaser was pulled from theaters following the September 11 attacks, but it can be viewed on YouTube.
