DVD cover

\


This is our very own DVD packaging which will we use for distribution purposes. Our aim was to create something eye catching that would stand out among all other films and interest possible suppliers, in order for them to distribute our product.

We used software such as photoshop CS5 and merged images from google images and our own images. We used features that were stereotypical towards a psychological DVD cover, such as the BBFC rated sign, which indicates the rating of the film. The grey/white background that blends with the antagonist's face reflects the meaning of our film title "behind the screen" as the character is displayed to have two different  personalities. In the opening sequence and the DVD cover, we purposely tried to hide the antagonists facial  features to maintain the audiences enigmas.

Here are some famous psychological thrillers that we researched in order to create an aim of what we wanted our DVD to portray. We favored the background blending in with the characters faces on some of these thriller films, thus incorporating it in our DVD cover. We also mirrored the average template of DVD covers because we wanted ours to look professional, for example we analysed different styles of writing basic information on the front cover. We didn't aspire to give away the narrative, as this would not built enigmas and suspense for the audience. However, on our back cover, we plan to describe the plot but again keeping the main purpose of the story line.
