Ancillary text DVD cover

For my DVD cover i used conventional tropes of a professional DVD cover. for example i named the main actors used in the production and put their names on the back cover of the DVD. i also used the directors and producers n the bottom of the back cover. i also placed the 5 stars at the bottom on the DVD cover therefore the audience can recognise the reviews and ratings. The title of the DVD is large at the front cover and it is smaller along the spine, this is so it draws and focuses the audiences attention to the title and the image of the front cover. The DVD cover also shows that symbol of PG (parental guidance) which means general viewing but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. this icon is visible on the back of the cover therefore making it noticeable for the audience along the back of the cover i have placed a range of different images on the back as a teaser for the audience for what might happen in the video.

for the front cover i used Photoshop to create this double exposure effect on the protagonist of the video i felt that this was effective for the cover as it immediately draws the consumers attention to the front of the cover and pulls them in wanting to find out more. i used the image of a forest to overlay the face of the actress Lauren in the cover as one of the scenes in the video is in the forest therefore i thought that the image of the actress and the trees would create an interesting image and also set the scene for the video, i decided to also have the image in black and white as the dance scenes in the video are shot in black and white and it portrays a lot of emotion for the protagonist and also it creates the atmosphere that it is going to be quite a sad ad emotional video and starts to leave the audience  making questions about the film wanting them to know more therefore intriguing them into watching the video.
