Analysis of film poster


                                                        INCEPTION


This poster has a slogan that allows the audience to read it as if it is a dream or maybe not all necessarily 

right. It allows us to make a decision for ourselves whether the background image is real or not. 


The name of a famous well know actor is placed at the top separately to entice people who of a fan of him 

not just a fan of thrillers which the name of the film may give away. 


From the image itself you can tell something has happened, maybe something spectacular due to the city 

streets empty which would usually be full, giving off a sense of mystery. It also has unanswered questions 

due to the lack of knowledge you get out of the image as he holds a gun but there's no one in sight. Is he 

the one who's vulnerable protecting himself or is he the antagonist.


It states under the title in a medium font "From the directors of The Dark Knight" allowing any lovers of 

that film to have an interest into "Inception".

The lighting through the middle is made brighter and lighter so that he stands out right in the middle of the poster. Is this done for any particular reason ? Is he being shone down onto?
