1. Spectre Analysis
• In this ‘TEASER POSTER’ we get a shot of James Bond in a
casual looking outfit of a black turtle neck and black jeans he is
looking like a normal person however he is giving the camera an
intense stare which makes him intimidating.
• The headline is centered right on top of the stars chest which
shows he could be a central character within the film and if anyone
has seen the previous James Bond films they would know who he is
and his importance to the film.
• Just below the name of the film, we see the 007 logo which is
extremely well known this has been placed there so even if you
don’t know what the name Spectre is you will still be interested in
the film because it is James Bond and the 007 logo shows everyone
that.
• In his right hand he can be seen holding a gun this is significant as
he is a trained killer with a “license to kill” So him holding the gun
reflects his characters traits.
• The bottom of the poster shows the credits which include MGM,
Sony, Colombia, 007.com so it shows there is vast marketing
campaigns set up for this
• Also it says ‘COMING SOON’ which shows it is only a teaser
trailer which gives the minimum away.
2. Inception Analysis
• At the top of the poster we see ‘LEONARDO DICAPRIO’s’ name
Printed across the top resembling a banner this is effective because if it
was positioned at a bus stop his name is easily viewable and the viewer will
be very interested and assume the film has a certain amount of quality
which he brings to the film production. Leonardo DiCaprio also brings a
certain amount of bankability to the film.
• There is a sell line saying “YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE
CRIME” this provides the first glimpse of the plot of the film because
Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is a thief but he steals peoples dreams and
inserts thoughts into people’s mind.
• The image of Leonardo DiCaprio standing in the water is a comparison to
the phrase (in deep-water) In the film his character is running from
America because he is being accused a crime he never committed (killing
his wife)
• In the title ‘INCEPTION’ we can see the image of a maze this is used
because the mind is like a maze that Leonardo DiCaprio can navigate his
way around.
• He is shown holding a gun which makes him appear dangerous and like he
could become a threat at any time.
• In the credits we can see that this film has been made by the same person
as The Dark Knight which shows it is a highly esteemed director, also it
informs the audience it can be watched in Imax cinemas.
