This is the teaser trailer for the film The hunger games directed by Gary Ross starring Jennifer Larence. This teaser trailer begins with a variation of wide shots of a forest that transition slowly for 15 seconds, suddenly the female protaganist appears holding a bow and arrow looking around the forest. The soundtrack is slowly beginning to play in the background. After an extreme close up focused on the eyes of the female protaganists a V.O begins of male character talking to the female protaganist reasuring her that she will survive, the soundtrack begins to get louder and the transitions in between shots become quicker, this successfully creates momentum in the teaser trailer which engages the audience. The teaser trailer ends with the film title being shown against the logo on the film which is set on fire suggesting that there will be some violence in the film.
This teaser trailer has shown me that by switching up the speed of the transitions in between shots from slow in the beginning of the teaser to fast near the very end, it can create some momentum in the trailer that will help to engage an audience. I've also learnt that by having a V.O in the teaser trailer it can help to raise questions in the audiences mind which will increase their interest in the film because the storyline has been left as an enigma for them until they watch the film.
