A few weeks
ago, I decided to send off my ancillary tasks and DVD cover to a professional
printing firm in order to gain multiple hard-copies as this would be the case
for real media texts. The three pieces arrived quickly and I was really happy
with the quality, aside from my film poster being slightly under exposed. I was
incredibly impressed with the quality of my review and DVD cover J yay.
When designing my DVD cover, I
found that the most difficult part was finding images that I hadn’t already
used for my ancillary tasks. This was difficult because being a short film,
there weren’t many production photos or storylines that I could exploit.
I researched into a lot of DVD
covers to find what elements were the most successful, examples that I looked
at were the Toy Story trilogy, a number of Tim Burton films and other age
appropriate films of similar genres.
I decided to include a trio of
images and borders that I also went on to use in my film review, because the
colours form a good colour scheme for my film. J
Certain factors that I spent a
long time on were the duplication of sand, the font of the text on the back and text itself. I deliberated for a long time about the font because I wasn't particularly happy with it yet I discovered that the font used is commonly used on the back of DVD covers; this was also the case with my film review, however, upon receiving my hard-copies, I love the way that they look!
