A presentation analysing Inception screenshots from the trailer.

1. A N A LY S I S ; INCEPTION
The use of CGI creating a scenery of a bendy city constructing dark
lighting contrasts represents a choice between a Sci-fi and action or
adventure film. The strong crisp smooth selection of a clear and bold
writing of "Inception" as the title with the colour red emphasizes a
dangerous movie.
Genre: I believe the Genre is Sci-fi, Action and Adventure because the film
consists of an excessive use of CGI, choreographed fight scenes take
place, certain props shown in this film are not similar to others in Action &
Adventure films like...

"The Dream Machine"
INCEPTION
And a gun that shoots bullets and kills
the actor but no trace of blood - it wakes
them up from their sleep. These
representations of the misc-en-scene
enables the multi-choice of sub-genres to
be Action, Adventure and Sci-Fi.
Narrative code:
Equilibrium: A specialised thief steals
valuable information from peoples sub-
conscious i.e. "dreams".
Disruption: Dom Cobb meets his last
target but offers a deal to meet with his
family
Resolution: Dom Cobb accepts the deal of
Inception and works with his team to
complete the deal

These intertitles represent a quality and action film as
Warner Bros are recognised for producing highly
criticised films. When viewers see these companies they
will know that the film would be spectacular as the
reputation for Legendary Pictures and Syncopy are of a
really high standard.

In the blue box numbered 1. this is
INCEPTION
the actor's expression as part of
the misc-en-scene. The location of
the shot is based in a hotel to
resemble the actor's dress code.
The actor is dressed smartly with a
suit, tie and shirt. The actor also
has neat hair to represent his
status as a formal man.
A stereotype for a smart looking
neat man is that they wear suits,
talk formally, earn a substantial
amount of money, good job, wife and kids. However his costume deceives as he specialises in
stealing valuable information by indulging in people's subconciousness or should I say "dreams".
This shot was taken from a briefing Dom Cobb was listening to and it cuts from the person
speaking to Dom Cobb which is called a Noddy Shot. In the green box numbered 2. this is a
close-up. Close-ups are used to extract the emotions from the actor so that the audience can
understand the actor's point of view. Dom Cobb is expressing a stressed and surprised faced to
emphasize his situation being serious to the audience. The colour grading is set to a yellowish
tint with the lighting on half of the actor's face. This creates a dark and shadow kind-of uneasy
resemblance which demonstrates the actor's situation

5. A N A LY S I S ; INCEPTION
This is a two-shot to represent Dom Cobb and the disruptor's
relationship. A two-shot is used to represent the relationship
between 2 people. In this shot Dom Cobb's (left) expression
with lowering self-esteem dialogue towards Arthur (right) with
the non-diegetic background music as a rapid bass-beating
extravaganza represents the dramatic tension by Arthur's bad
planning which almost had the whole team killed.

6. A N A LY S I S ; INCEPTION
This is a wide shot to show the actors full body and since
the lighting is set to a low key this represents a frightening
situation to the audience as he has to escape before he is
killed. The addiction of rushing non-diegetic makes the
audience jump. While Dom Cobb suddenly became stuck
between the walls, the non-diegetic background music's
tempo increased as the police nearly approached him. This
represents a dramatic tension towards the audience.
