Creating the DVD front cover

I researched quite alot of DVD covers so i could get an idea of the contents that are included with the genre Sci-fi/supernatural.

When creating this front cover; I thought about the directors, actors and actresses, the front cover image, institution logos and the title of the film.


Danielle and I come up with the title of our film "Crossing The Threshold" due to content of the film. I come up with the idea of having video footage of a train arriving at a station because it leaves mystery to the audience as well as making them intrigued with the following events. The film that then follows, is repetition of Danielle and I running in various different locations. Many of which are set in London and Camden. We wanted to make sure the locations were interesting as well as well realistic to the type of invasion that is occurring in the film, so we chose; Trafalgar square, Camden high street and Nelsons Column.

Also when designing this front cover I had to consider the genre so i could co-ordinate the colour accordingly. I chose black as the background as it indicates a dark film. I then wrote the title in red to also indicate the genre of the film and the fact its going to be about death and mystery. I had to include the logos of the institutions we wish to use on our front cover. We have created our own logo to use, which is shown below:










I then had to insert an image to reflect the film and attrract attention, so i had to make it interesting. I thought to include the main actresess. I then had to edit the image to make sure it suited the genre. I edited it in the programme Adobe Premeire Pro 1.5.
Below is a draft of the front cover:
