Typical features of a teaser trailer consist of using footage not necessarily from the film and would demonstrate things that would draw an audience in, for example a demonstrations of the graphic’s the film will use or titles which feature famous actors or producers.
An example of this is the teaser trailer for the film Tron: Legacy.
The teaser trailer demonstrates the impressive graphics of the film with the intent to draw in a young audience and to allow those who viewed the original film to feel a sense of nostalgia, it also uses the most iconic seen of the original “Tron” film, the “light bike” scene and immediately would establish the film for an older generation. The scene also asked several unanswered questions “who are the drivers”, “why is there a conflict”, “what was the game and why is it not one anymore” and “who is the man overseeing it”. This enigma cultivates anticipation in the audience and generates intrigue, which is the purpose of a teaser trailer. The Teaser Trailer allows the audience to also get a taste of the style of the film, establishing that while linked to the previous "Tron" film it is far more modern, the colour scheme and graphics in particular connote this to the audience.
