DVD cover for our film

Once I had finished up all of my work, I decided to create a DVD cover for our film. To do this I used Photoshop CS6 Extended. 

Here is the finished result. I'm pleased with the outcome.

Classification 18

We chose the classification 18 because the genre of our film is horror and the age rating of 18 is a common rating for this particular genre.



I asked my family what they thought of this DVD cover.
Bare in mind I didn't tell them it was made by me, so it wouldn't be biased, once I told them, their responses were;

1. Lee (brother-in-law): "It's good, very believable" 
2. Gemma (sister): "I thought you was showing me an official cover"
3. Debbie (parent): "Looks really professional"
4. Steve (parent): "Really good. Should use it for a real DVD"
5. Rhegan (brother): "I like how it looks like the red has been sponged on"

Title's

I have researched various existing titles to some horror thriller films to give me an idea of how ours should look.

I have noticed that all these titles have followed the codes and conventions of a horror, being that they are monochromatic and use blood red as a predominant colour. They're also either very grunge like or thin and sharp. When looking at font for our film I will keep these in mind so that our title will give the right impression to the audience.

For our title we have looked at various fonts that we could use. They are;

We liked this font due to the fact that it looks pretty grungy and horror like, we considered we might use this one if we can't find another that's up to this standard.

This font we liked because it has a mirrored effect which would work with our story considering it contains a mirror.

This font is pretty good, although we weren't too sure if it work work well as it looks kind of fantasy looking rather than horror.

This font here is a great horror font, although I think it would work better with a hack & slash horror genre rather than a ghost horror genre.

This is my most favourite font out of the five as I like how it has sharp edges and I like that it's very thin. I believe that it creates a great horror image and I think it would work best with our sequence out of the 5.
