Your analysis of Inception has a good basis and discusses genre and narrative reasonably well but you have looked at the theatrical trailer rather than the teaser trailer.
I would go back and do some additional research on the teaser trailer. Take screen shots and analyse the composition of each one. Think about camera distance/angle/framing. How is it presenting an enigma? drawing the viewer in making them eager to find out more? How does the shot signify genre and hint at plot and potential narrative themes? This could be down to the use of mise-en-scene and the sound that accompanies the shot.
Is a voice over used? What type? What information is it providing? What about sound effects? dialogue? is it key dialogue? does it provide narrative info?
Are there any iconic shots we'd associate with the genre? What about the use of narrative set pieces?
For print - think back to your print analysis at first year - cut up the cover and poster and analyse smaller sections. Discuss the font, curning and leading. What about the text to image ratio? What about the positioning of text and image on screen? How are shots composed?
Refer back to your marketing research is the film being sold be exploiting star persona? How? why? or is it genre lead?
What about institutional information - where is it? what is it? How are iconic props, part of the repertoire, used in the print work?
How can you tell if the film is British, Indie or mainstream hollywood?
You just need to provide more intrinsic detail in order to really discuss how you've taken inspiration from it regarding the practicalities of making your package and ideas for plot.
Very much like Tom really. You've analysed a full theatrical trailer. Leave it in but try and find a teaser trailer. All of the feedback i've given Tom applies to you. You need to analyse section of the print in detail and you need to analyse individual shots of the trailer.
There is no real discussion of sound and editing and this will play a crucial role in the success of your work. Go back to this and make the refinements please.
