Inception Analysis

Anthony Grey

First lookThis first screen shot if the first look in to the title sequence of inception. Straight away your prompted with the big name of the Warner Bros as well as a light background with what it appears to look like ink floating down the screen.

CreatorFollowing form the first screen shot this this screen shot shows a different arrangement in the text positioned at the right of the screen instead of the bottom left as well as introducing the creator of the film, Christopher Nolan who produces great films. I have realized a common theme with the darkness of the ink on the screen, giving me the impression that this film has a very dark tone to the background of it, as it is a thriller as well.

MusicNext introduced in the title sequence is the music with a slight change in the background but still with the theme of the dark tone which I have seen as a common addition in any thriller title opening sequence. The arrangement of text has move to the center of the screen which is maybe suggesting that importance of the people to follow in the title sequence.

PhotographyNext in the title sequence to be introduced is the photographer for the production with a big clear shot of a construction shaft of a bridge deconstructed in different ways creating an ‘Inception’.

CharactersAfter the Production team, Producer, Music & Photographer the characters follow leading with the main actor Leonardo Dicaprio who is well established. The background is very simple still with the theme of using black dark tone in the back The following images are of other actors in this production they include big names such as Michael Caine and Tom Hardy.

Ken Watanabe

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Marion Cotillard

Ellen Page

Tom Hardy

Cillian Murphy

Tom Berenger

Michael CaineEach of the screen shots which was introducing each actor has had a different background with an illusion or inspection. Which is setting up the audience for illusions to be played out through the movie.

The TitleRight at the end of the title sequence the title appears centered in the screen in bold white writing with a black background still following the dark tone theme throughout. There is an addition to this background with a smoked out white face in the background which fades way as the title sequence ends
