Teen Wolf is a film with Michael J Foxx. which is its unique selling point. The plot is about a teenage boy who is unpopular at school to start becoming more popular once he has turned into a wolf.
The clip starts off slow with the special effects of the logo appearing slowly on the screen, followed by the name of the company who is releasing this film. The small font isn't as effective as it could have been presented more bolder and effective to the audience, making it stand out to other trailers. What is effective however is the way the noise of a wolf in the background makes the audience think that this trailer is more dramatic, maybe the genre is a horror film. By doing this the audience are engaged to watch the trailer to see how effective it is going to be.
The idea that this trailer is going to be a horror changes instantly when the music changes to a more upbeat comedy instead. The first clip we see is a low angle shot of Michael J Foxx. for a split second on screen before it turns into a high angle of the basketball being thrown on the court, we know he is on a court because of the use of mise-en-scene with the costumes. Even though at the beginning the low angle shot is used he still appears more vulnerable with his terrified expression and the sweat on his face. The first number of seconds makes us feel connected to the character he is in this film, engaging the audience.
Connecting with the character helps the audience in wanting to watch this film in cinema's because they will want to find out how he interacts with the environment and what eventually ends and whether he becomes popular then.
