The inception trailer uses a variety of methods to keep the audience engaged in the Inception trailer. The trailer tries to appeal to the audience by displaying the different genres and the use of the different shots keep the audience engaged. Towards the end of the trailer more and more quick shots are used to create tension and excitement as these scenes are usually action packed. Most of them are action based and hook the audience because it is fast paced.

The trailer starts by stating some information about the situationin America accompanied by a very slow music. The music gets shaken as some disturbing cuts are shown, such as gun shots and fights between people on the night of the " The Purge". That obviously creates suspense, as the audience would be even more interested to find out what the whole film is about. The last thing before the title of the film is shown on the american flag is a woman holding a gun for maybe protect herself, as very surprisingly the image gets fully black and we hear a very loud scream which leaves the audience wondering about what actually happened. This helps promotes the film as people would be more likely to want to watch the movie.

The names of everyone who produced the film are made to stand out from the poster to show the audience who produced the movie, which are those who previously produced a very successful film such as SAW.

However, its hand is sinister looking with extreme wounds.  The sub-titles "You scream, You die" refers directly to death, which intigue the audience to find out what happens in the story of the film.

Mysterious tall man covers the entire background. He is shown in a side view so that the audience won't see his face.  He looks very secretive and suspicious , which might make the viewers think that he is a spy(create suspense) The Quotes used are very personal and threatening by repeating : " I " , " YOU " , " I WILL KILL YOU" . This makes the audience wonder about what the whole film would be about as the poster doesn't reveal the whole story. The use of black and white colours represents the film as quite dark, possibly foreshadowing as death. However, the orange writing " TAKEN " and the famous actor Liam Neeson covering the entire poster makes the film more appealing and make it stand out for the audience. Also, the pistol coming out from the shadow gives a shock to the audience even though it links with the idea of him being some sort of a spy in the film.
