Conventions of action film trailer

Narrative
Todorov: Equilibrium and resolution at the end, with various cliff hanger moments to build suspense
Chase Sequences and care chases are inevitable set pieces as are staged fights and stunt routines.
Usually involves a binary opposition (good vs. evil etc.)
Often a quest element involving a magical item or person

Characters
Hero’s (strong, male, macho, violent etc)


Mise en Scene + Camera
Exotic glamorous places
Close ups used often
CGI and special effects 
Typical Iconography= Explosions/guns/blood/technology/expensive cars/
High level of detail / accuracy in costumes

Sound + Editing
Fast paced sound tracks
Fast paced editing to create energy
Lots of diegetic sound to create atmosphere
