Analysis of teaser trailers

Some of the general teaser trailers I looked at included:
Resident Evil: Afterlife,
Cloverfield,
Shaun of the dead,
Tron,
Prince of Persia,
Superhero Movie,
Inception.

These trailers gave me a good idea of the codes and conventions within a teaser trailer over a range of genre's. Here is a video showing my analysis of the 'Inception' trailer, explaining the codes and conventions:


You may have to make this full screen to see clearly.
On some additional notes, Inception is a sci-fi (science fiction) film written, produced and directed by Christopher Nolan. In this trailer it's things like people flying around a corridor, the tilted glass of water and curvy buildings that bring out the sci-fi part of the film. All these things mess with your mind and play tricks on you, which is one thing that sci-fi does well - being out of the ordinary.
