Defining Audio Visual Promos

Music Promos 

Music promos are short audio-visual representations that are constructed to accompany a song released by a solo artist or band. 

Travel for a film/TV Programme/game/animation

There are two types of trailers:

Teaser Trailer: Released in advance of a new film/TV/programme/game/animation, a teaser trailer contains very little information about the new release other than to 'tease' the audience with information about the visuals, characters and possible narrative.

Trailer: Longer than the teaser trailer, a trailer builds on elements contained in the teaser trailer(s) and provides more information about the final film including its release date.

Identifying the genre

One of the first stages in creating an audio-visual promo is to identify the genre for the intended final product, as this informs which elements are selected for inclusion in the audio-visual promo.

TV idents

A TV ident is a short audio-visual sequence that is played in the seconds before a programme begins, which provides the audience with information regarding the channel they are watching.
