How to make a DVD movie cover?. Film Review Quote.
E N D
Film Review Quote DVD covers that we have looked at have featured a quote from somewhere, for example ‘The Times’, and usually they are praising the film. This would make more people want to see it. We have decided to follow this and wrote our own to feature on the back of the cover.
The Blurb 2 All DVD’s feature a blurb on the back, this is to inform people of the general story line. We have decided as well to follow this common convention and write our own one which features on the back.
Special Features Some DVD’s feature a ‘special features’ box on the back to let people know what else the DVD includes other than the film. We chose to follow the style of the one from ‘The Descent’ as it, like ours, is a horror film and this red stands out well against black and could also represent blood.
Back Image Again we took inspiration from ‘The Descent’ DVD cover and have created our own little series of pictures, which we screenshot from our trailer. We chose a couple of the main character and a couple of mysterious ones so not to give away any sense of what is going to happen in the film.
Compulsory Features All conventional DVD covers include a Barcode, credits, the certificate plus any more details, for example run time. We created this and included it on the back at the bottom, usually where they are all located on real films.
Main Title We used a different font to what everyone is used to seeing on DVD covers. We discovered a website called ‘www.dafont.com’ which allowed us to choose from a range of various fonts and we came across this one that was called ‘I still know’. We thought that as well as the title of the font being rather ironic, it looked great on our cover. In addition, as in ‘The Descent’ title, we chose to have it in capital letters to make it stand out more to the audience.
Certificate & Production All DVD covers have the film certificate on the middle as well the films production companies and financial partners, like ‘The Descent’ has ‘Pathe’ where we have used Paramount, Bad Robot and Spyglass.
Main Image We really liked the image used on the front cover of ‘The Descent’ DVD. We liked how they incorporated a gray scale image with the colour red and so we chose to edit the eyes of the main character and make them a dark red colour to convey a side of evil and to further suggest the genre of horror.
