Back Cover Write up

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.
