Shot Types

Film title
Use of the MPAA audience green screen 
Institutional details with logos of production and distribution companies
The use of inter-titles to create meaning
Certification/ age classification details
Release date
Actors' names
Short takes (no shots more than 3 or 4 seconds)
Quick paced edits composed of varied shot sequences 
Transitions
Introduction to the main characters
Variety of mise-en-scene
Editing to the pace & tempo of the music
A variety of shot sizes/ types, angles and movements.  This maintains visual interest and avoids repetition of the traditional default of a mid-shot
Diegetic and non-diegetic sound, including dialogue, soundtrack/ score and voiceovers
Drama, suspense, action and use of key movie scenes to build interest for an audience
The turn line. That moment in a trailer where the music drops out for a single line of dialogue. This creates a dramatic moment of emphasis for an audience.
The rise.  The big dramatic crescendo that builds to the climax of the trailer.
Hits.  The pounding dramatic drum booms that are evident in so many trailers and contribute to the sense of drama.
The button.  The jump scare or the joke, (dependant upon genre) that comes directly after the main title reveal.
