Top left image: The main settings in my teaser trailer are outdoors in nature, I wanted to reflect this in the images chosen. I chose to place this image in the top corner as it appears that the figure in the bottom image is looking up at the moon, which leads the viewers eye towards the top of the image. I also really liked the contrast in colour between the light sky and the dark trees, it conforms with the horror theme. The moon is also a focal point which attracts the viewers eye.
Top right image: The extreme dark background next to the bright blue of the left image creates a nice contrast which will attract attention. The broken glass shows a reflection of the trees in the left image creating a link between the two, allowing the images to flow. The broken mirror is an effigy of my main characters mindframe in the 'film' - broken, scattered, empty. There can also be a link between the gun and broken mirror, the imagery suggests the gun has broken the glass, the destruction links the images together.
Bottom left image: The natural green and browns in this image compliment the naturalistic surroundings and fit in with the colours in the adjoining images, this again allows the images to fit nicely and flow together. The figure in the image is surrounded in a desolate green mass, this creates a sense of isolation and distances her from the other images. She appears quite vulnerable and lost, these factors portray what the character will be like in the 'film'.
Bottom right image: This image is probably the most dramatic in the sequence, the gun is an automatic signifier of danger and death and adds an element of violence to the quite peaceful imagery. I chose to place the image here so that the gun points towards the female character, suggesting she will be endangered in the film. The gun acts as a leading line towards the female, allowing the viewer to follow a path through the images. The hands also belong to a male which suggests the male character will be the antagonist and the female character will be the victim or perhaps the 'femme fatale'.
Banner: The white banner in the middle separates the images and creates a broken feeling, like a puzzle being pieced together, which will relate to the themes in the film. This broken and scattered imagery also relates to the teaser trailer as you have to attempt to work out what the story is about, it is in non-chronological order and doesn't make complete sense to intrigue the viewer ergo 'teaser'. The bright white of the banner also stands out clearly contrasting to the dark coloured imagery, allowing it to stand out and catch the eye.
