Conventions of a teaser trailer include:
Production company logos - used to show which companies made the film and advertise these companies
Images from the film - these images are specifically chosen so as not to give away too much about the movie, while also creating anticipation and the "want for more" from the audience.
Title of the film - usually at the end of the teaser trailer
Release dates - for a teaser trailer this is likely to be "Coming Soon" or "Summer 2014" rather than date specific
Indication of genre - use of mise-en-scene or voice-overs should clearly show the genre of the film.

Voice over man - sets the scene of the film
Editing - transitions often include flashes, quick fades and dissolves alongside more conventional cuts
Credits - including the cast, crew, director etc.
References to other films - "from the director of" etc.
Images of stars/names of stars
References to awards - won by cast/crew/film "7 time Bafta award winning actor" etc.

Eye candy - someone who catches the eye of the audience, and would attract audiences
