Rogue One is being pitched as a down-and-dirty war movie, and in this one shot that's all got across. Jyn shot up close in a moving vehicle staring out the window with a look of apprehension ticks all the genre requisites, accentuated by Mon Mothma's voiceover, "We have a mission for you."

Also notice the lens flare - if J.J. had included something like that in a trailer for The Force Awakens, people would have rioted.
