What do they convey and what elements do they use to do this?
The Hangover had the most informative trailer regarding the plot and content of the film. We're introduced to the main characters and given a brief indication of the narrative - they've lost their friend Doug after his stag night and have to find him. We're then shown a series of scenes cut together showing the funniest parts and retracing all the crazy things they did the night before.
Liar Liar uses a voice-over and clips cut together to give an idea of what happens in the story. We know who the main character is, a big name star, Jim Carrey which will draw an audience alone. We're also introduced to his family and friends, as well as finding out that he's a lawyer which all gives a rounded view of who the character is. Clips include scenes of him lying, then missing his son's birthday where the wish is made that Jim Carrey's character won't be able to lie for an entire day, and then the aftermath of the day after. Like The Hangover, the trailer for Liar Liar shows the funniest scenes to attract it's audience.
Happy Gilmore has the least informative trailer of the three we've chosen. I found the trailer hard to understand but the main points I could pick out were that he has to play golf to earn money for his grandmother. There's a few different clips which show him getting aggressive and getting into fights but I'm not sure how it relates to the plot.
