Analysis of Film Magazine Cover

Background reflects the trailer, to those who have seen it, of the buildings folding in on each other –

highlighting the film’s theme of tricking the mind, the title of the magazine has used

taken ideas from the film in its font style of

buildings.

Tagline of ‘The Mind-Blowing Issue’ further

highlights the theme of the film being about the

mind – for those who know about the film from

the trailer etc they will understand – however given the name of the film and the sub-title

under the title ‘head-trip’ this can be worked out

Recognisable and protagonist character

(Leonardo Di Caprio) takes up the foreground of the

cover and is the main focus of the cover – people then become more interested in

the film because of the recognisable actors (Star

Power) – Leonardo Di Caprio was in Titanic – one of the most famous films of

this generation.

Although Inception is the main focus this magazine cover has chosen, other

films have also been advertised on the

front, for those who don't care much for the film and

also those who take interest in other things as

well as inception.

Colour scemefollows the same as

the posters and trailer – of being dark and mystic.
