Action Film Poster- Inception

This film poster for the action film 'Inception' gives the impression of dark and mysterious events which may occur in the film. The main character is in the centre of the poster holding a gun which suggests that he may be in danger. There are other characters surrounding him who look involved and aware of the circumstance they are in. The street behind this group of characters seems to be in an unusual position as it is stretching high above them. This suggests to the viewer that the environment in which they are in is scary and may put them in a difficult position.

The lines on the street and the vertical lines going upwards towards the sky are intimidating as they tower over the people below them. The city looks dark and urban as the buildings are very condense. Leonardo Di Caprio's name is printed in large letters at the top of the poster. This shows that he is one of the selling points for the film as audiences may be interested in seeing him in an action film. The title of the film, 'Inception' is in deep red letters which connotes blood and evil.
