I created the back cover of the DVD. When planning out the layout I did a lot of research on what a DVD cover should contain such as Title, pictures, the certificate, bar code, logos, blurb, actors and directors name. I made sure my cover included everything, (bar code and logo I had searched on Google images (and used them on my back cover). I did more research on the types of layouts that are being used on other DVD covers. After researching I had more ideas on DVD layouts and what it contained. I researched into; Hancock, pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight, Transformers, Sin City, Austin Powers, etc. I created the DVD on Microsoft word and Fireworks. I have learnt a lot on how to use Fireworks such as resizing the picture, using all the tools, rotating the picture etc. The back cover contained five clips of the film. I chose specific clips in order to attract the audience to encourage them to watch the film. The clips also include a teaser of what the film is about. During the process of making the DVD cover, there were a few problems with resizing the pictures. Due to this, Josh assisted me to edit the pictures. Frankie and I had thought of the blurb and the actual story, I wrote it on Microsoft Word and shaped it in ‘triangle’ form using Microsoft PowerPoint and placed it on fireworks.

Editing
For the editing section of our film, Abida and I took clips from the whole of our filming and put together a special features section. This was done to show the fun we had while creating our film and also to show our editing abilities.

DVD Front Cover
Front cover
For the front cover of our DVD, Josh demonstrated how to edit using the Fireworks. Once I had this knowledge I began to create the front cover for our DVD.
Through my research I looked at other film covers, which helped to me to decide the best picture to use. The films that I researched were:
· I Am Legend
· Butterfly Effect
· Saw
· Sin City
· Hancock
· Transformers
· Marnie
From these films I found that Butterfly Effect, Saw, Sin City and Marnie were the most useful. I found Butterfly affect useful as from this I contracted the idea of using a picture that does not have that much relevance to the film, however it was mysterious and had relevance to the name of the film. I decided to use the idea of creating mystery within the picture, as it would help to create an interest within the audience. From the Saw film I was enlightened by the idea of using a picture, which drives the whole film, this is why I chose a picture of a hand holding the necklace, as it is the turning point within the film, which drives the search. Last of all I looked at Marnie and Sin City, as the colours that was used were very contrasting between the two films. The film Marnie had a bold orange colour along side of a black, where Sin City was very dull only illuminating the title of the film held in red.
With all of these ideas I came to the conclusion of using a screenshot from the film opening of a hand holding a necklace (the evidence). I used this as I found that it created mystery but also gave a good idea of the type of the films genre. In creating the cover I took a screenshot of the image and modified the size of it within fireworks. After doing this I decided to fade the colour of the picture to a dull grey/brown, this also helped to build upon the mystery of the film, as the audience have been limited to what colours they can see. I added layers later on to ensure that the cover was not too dull and boring. Adding layers built upon mystery and made the cover reveal the real genre of the film.
When I had finally finished the picture for the cover I had the problem of the cover not being long enough. For this Josh edited the picture within fireworks to ensure that it was the correct size for a DVD cover. Once this was done I added a red title of the film along the edited section, as it was a dark colour this ensured that it stood out well.
Along side of the front cover I added the spine of the DVD cover. For this spine Josh added in the title in red to match the front cover, also he rotated it to ensure it was visual. Lastly I added the British board of film classification, this was to ensure that consumers were automatically aware of the age limit of our film, ensuring no mistakes are made. Our films classification is a 12A; this is because it does infrequent scary scenes and sustained moderate threat.
