Our finished DVD cover

After re-evaluating our previous draft DVD covers, and looking into the further research in which we carried out, we decided to be simplistic and subtle. We took a picture that we felt had relevance to the name of the band that produced the song. This picture was of an eye, we then used Adobe Photoshop to edit the image, making the pupil red, which is clearly not ordinary and therefore we felt it suited the name ‘The Wild-Eyes’ We chose the colour red as we also wanted to show that the eye had been intoxicated due to substances, such as alcohol and drugs. We done this as the narrative of our produced music video was sowing the effects both of these intoxicant have on a youth, female protagonist. We felt that when looking at the DVD cover the audience would make both of the above connotations and therefore have an insight t the music video and it’s narrative.

The image on the rear of the DVD cover consisted of two shot glasses with an liquid substance in, in which the audience assumes to be alcohol. We enlarged the image so that it fitted as the background image, with the text over the top, and then we made the image lighter so that the text we were going to print on top of it was still clear. The text on the DVD cover consisted of the title of the song and band on the front cover in a unique text that we felt looked like it could be associated with the band and song, and we also felt it was catchy. On the reverse of the DVD cover was the track listing, along with reviews of the music video, we felt that this would make it look realistic, along with the title ‘breakdown’ on the spine of the cover, using the same font as before to make it look simple but affective, and help with the continuity. We also used typical symbols like the barcode and the DVD video symbol.
