Inception Poster analysis.

I feel i should analyse this 'Inception' poster as i found this poster interesting and as part of our coursework we are choosing to make a poster to go with our short film.

I like the way in which they have in cooperated a picture of a shot from the film but a shot which is questioning to the audience. This could encourage people to go and see this film. This would make some people want to watch it as they would wonder to why there is a man standing in water by a lot of buildings. The only negative of this though is that people who don't like the genre of film this is portraying it wouldn't attract them therefore they have to use the rest of the poster to attract them.

They way they have put 'Leonardo dicaprio' right at the top will automatically attract an audience who like that famous 'good looking' actor. This is why they have chose to put this right at the top although we can't in cooperate this in our film as we wont be using any famous actors i still have recognised this is how they've also attracted another audience even if they don't like the look of the genre.

They have also included at the bottom that it's by 'The director of Dark night' A very famous and popular film so people will think this is automatically a good film as the director from a very successful film directed it.

They've included a slogan on this poster and the slogan is 'your hind is the scene of the crime' This slogan obviously relates to the film which gives the viewers an insight to the film a little. This straight away shows there if crime in this film. This slogan will also help people recognise the film is they see it on this poster then see the trailer on the TV they will then know to carry on watching the trailer which may encourage them to watch it. In our film poster i hope to include a catchy slogan to encourage the readers to want to watch our film.

In this picture on the background of the poster they have cleverly not given away too much of the film so it doesn't give you the narrative at all it's just there to encourage people to watch it and create an audience and to promote the film. This is a good thing to do because if you give away to much on a film it could put the audience off. Although I'm not sure I'd like the background of our poster to be a picture i will include a picture not necessarily of a shot in the film though maybe just the character but i could use this for inspiration if i choose to use a picture as the whole background of the poster.
