Film Posters

Here are 3 film posters for the film Inception. In each poster, the actor Leonardo Di Caprio is at front of each poster thus giving the audience the information that he is most likely to be the main character. They also use Leonardo is a famous actor and is used to attract the target audience. Another feature that signifies this is that in each poster, Leonardo's name is at the top of each poster with the tagline underneath it. Each poster is slightly different but revolves around the same theme; all 3 with dark blue colour schemes are the title "Inception" in a dark red colour to stand out from the dark blue scheme. Also the title is centred in the posters overcoming any image. It is most likely the standard out title with be the first thing to catch the audience’s eye. Another reoccurring feature is that each poster has twisted scenery. The architecture is not realistic, showing that this is a fictional film. Each film poster seems to be eye catching and mysterious, which makes it so the audience want to solve the mystery behind it. Each of these posters use the common conventions of film posters and are all well designed to draw in the audience

Here I have posts two front pages of film magazines. Each is promoting the new film "Inception". A common feature in both is that the magazine revolves around the main film they are discussing about. This is show by Leonardo covering up the masthead of the magazines title. Also any other film release is put aside to the Inception image revolving around the main release. Another feature that the magazine Film is promoting is that they've personally changed their masthead to suit the "Inception" themed magazine. The have replaces their masthead with a strange architectural film title. Not to say that empire hasn’t tried as their background has a strange architectural image has been used in the back ground. The image of Leonardo isn't up to a high standard though compared to the strong stature of Leonardo in the empire image. Comparing the posters, these have followed the exact same theme of dark blue and architectural background. Also Leonardo has been shown into each image as he is a famous actor who will attract a large majority of the audience due to his fame.
