These movie trailers act as good teasers because they create mystery and lay out the story without giving away the ending. Why do the pirates want the gold? What is in that chest? How are they going to get Jack back? While you are thinking about these questions, they quickly show pieces of exciting or interesting parts of the movie paired with dramatic music to grab your attention and make you want more.

A good teaser portfolio should do that. Build up suspense, create interest without giving away everything, and leave the viewer wanting more.
