Poster Analysis

This movie poster was chosen because of how interesting I found it.

The poster looks like the genre of the film would be an action film. This is signified by the guns in the hands of suited characters who look important and rich because of their costumes.

In the mise en scence there are the buildings and a road where they are standing but the road vertically curves upwards which could represent the physical bend of reality within the film. The road has been edited like on photoshop in post production.

The poster is interesting because it includes a road bending which is unusual and quite unexplained, it leaves the view unsure about what they would experience when watching the film as they have little idea what it could be about, this could encourage them to see the film.

Another unusual thing about this poster is that it is landscape when most of the time movie posters are portrait.

Inception is the name of the film which means the planting of the idea which also related back to the mind which is what the film is about. You know the film is about your mind because of the tagline which quotes "your mind is the scene of the crime", this also suggests a sub genre of crime and action.
The main colours in the poster are blue and red, these colours show the two main genres, red for action, blue is often associated with crime.
The text at the top says in spaced out lettering Leonardo Dicaprio, this is because he is a top celebrity which could attract an audience of fans of leonardo.
