Analysis of DVD covers

Analysis of DVD covers.

The following slides show the analysis of varied DVD covers...

Big Headline/Title: Every DVD cover needs a ‘bold’ title so the main target audience can see what it is called. The fact that it is big and a different colour and font to the rest of the writing makes it unique and will gather the audience’s attention.

Review: Recent Professional DVD covers have reviews or quotes from newspapers rating the film. Sometimes this can actually make you buy it as someone else is stating that it is good which makes you automatically interested in purchasing the product.

A main Picture/photo’s:Each DVD cover needs a main picture. To make the cover more personal to the audience the producers make sure their actor or character is looking into the audience’s eyes in order for them to relate.

Pictures: On the back of the DVD cover there are normally a range of photos from a variety of sections from the film that help explain what the film is about. There are normally more then 3 pictures on the back and this gets the audience thinking about what the film consists of which makes the audience use their imagination.

Special features: It is becoming more frequent that every DVD has special features or bonus’s that sometimes show the ‘bloopers’ or the deleted scenes. There is normally a box or explanation on the back of the DVD that establishes what the Special features consist of or what they are.

Explanation/bubble: EVERY DVD has a explanation or bubble explaining the plot or storyline of the film. This gets the audience interested in the film and may even lead to them purchasing the product.
