Finished DVD sleeve

Development of dvd sleeve

The first stage of creating my DVD sleeve was to replicate the background and Jamie onto the front cover of the DVD sleeve so it matched the poster i created first.

The second stage was to type out the title and tagline in the same fonts as i used on the poster and kept them in the same position. I then reduced the size of the font so that it fitted onto the front over.

The third stage was i added the the review and stars at the bottom of the page to make the dvd look authentic, i also used the same font as on the DVD poster.

The fourth stage of development was to add the bbfc age rating at the bottom right hand corner, The production company logo, and dvd logo on the bottom left. To make the DVD sleeve look as authentic as possible.

The fifth stage was that i added the title, bbfc age rating, production company, and dvd logo down the spine of the DVD sleeve, So that it matches the Front of the DVD sleeve.

I then added the barcode and age rating that explains why it is an 18, I placed them either side of the back of the DVD sleeve to make it look realistic. The next thing i did was to add various different logos    in-between the barcode and age rating to make it look like a real Dvd sleeve.



















I then added the credits and the special features, this was to give my DVD sleeve depth and make it look a lot more interesting.

Next i added the images (stills from the film) to the back of the DVD sleeve. Using drop shadow and outer glow i gave the images a red, dirty looking border to keep the images in theme with the film which is horror and to also give the back of the DVD sleeve character.

I also added the blood to the top of the page using the paint brush tool to bring the DVD sleeve to life as though somebody has bled over it.

Then i did to finish this poster was to add the blurb which summarises what the film was about. I used the colour red so that it matches the colour scheme which is Black, Red and White, It also correlates with the theme of the film.  


















Finally i changed the font on my blurb to orator std due to the font being unreadable previously to this. I kept the same colour so that it stayed in theme with the film and so it looked dark and evil. I also added 'EXTREME EDITION' to the top to give the DVD more content and give it more to a horror feel to it.

Horror Movie poster Development

The first thing i did to make this poster was to take an image of Jamie using the SLR cameras in front of a plain, white background so that the image is easy to crop out. Once i had taken the photo i put the image into photoshop to i used the 'colour range' (Which is the second image on this post) to remove the white background and able me to move the image onto my background for the poster.

The background i chose is of a derelict mental institution as it matches the theme of what i was going for which is horror.













I then imported the image of Jamie onto the image of the derelict insane asylum placing him central to the image so that the background is still visible.

I then cropped an image of a knife that i got of Google images, using the magnetic lasso tool on photoshop.

The next stage of development was to place the knife into the hand and removed part of the knife that was covering the thumb. I then covered the hand in red using the paint brush tool and changing the transparency so that it didn't look as thick and so that you can see the hand behind it.















The next stage was to cover the jeans in blood and use the same method of appliance as i did with the knife and change the transparency so that it looked realistic.

I then created the title using the text tool and using the font Crime scene so that it correlated with the genre of film and so it looked bloody. I also added drop shadow and inner glow to give the text an outline so that it stands out of the page. Finally i added a red glow around Jamie to make him also stand out and look a lot more evil.






































The next stage was to add the reviews and star ratings to the bottom of the poster. I did this by adding one individual star then duplicating them several times to form the five star rating.

I then added the star names at the top using the text tool so that the names are a prominent part of the poster and attracts the audiences eyes to see who is in it.

At the bottom of the poster i added the credits of who made the film and who acted in it. I chose to put the credits at the bottom as it is a main part of the poster.

In the bottom right hand corner i added a 18 BBFC certificate, to show audiences that this film is a horror and is not suitable for people under that age.

Finally i added the tagline above the title which says 'HELP ME' due to the story of the film  being about a serial killer who is trying to repent on his sins. The font i used for the tagline was Charlemagne Std, i used this font due to it standing out from the other fonts on the page and is a typical horror font, similar to what is used on a slasher film.
