Final Cut

Final DVD Cover
By using Adobe Photoshop i produced an DVD cover our film 'Kick' i think this turned out as a success since i tryed to include all various conevention a actual real media product would. Whilst researching i found that they consist of an age certificate, title of the film, blurb, images, barcode, website and many more that i have included.

Overall i think the colour use of this product is very successful since there bright, vibrant and show that the film is an exciting piece also it stands out from the crowd having the big shoe mark placed on the cover symbolising the name of the film 'Kick' with 'KICK' slartented in red in the right hand corner. By consiting of the same font on the front and back didnt make either stand out differently that they join together well. To finish the DVD cover where i left it off from last time (Rough cut) i added a blurb and some images from our actual opening sequence i then again tried to consist this of similar font for the blurb by using impact since its a readable, friendly font that everyone uses, i then added 5 images from our opening which i had to print screen whilst watching it by depicting the ones i didnt like or werent useful since then i would of ended up with 30 images so i picked a couple of eached dance genres focusing on the feet and group work. By using photoshop i could then use the brushes i downloaded to give them all rough sided edges using the colours consisted.

I am very pleased with the overall outcome and have had some great feedback about ou DVD cover, it was a success in the end even though it took a while to complete.



Feedback

Once we had finished our rough cut, we thought that it would be a good idea to have some feedback so then we would be able to see what other people think and what can be done to make it better to fit the target audience and there needs.

This consisted of our media A level class of around 20 students viewing our opening sequence also including our teacher, we had mostly positive feedback since not many of the students in our class decided to do invent a dancing genre opening sequence. Therefore we had many different techiniques that other students hadn't included such as the spilt screening which was one of techniques that everyone had noticed and commented about because there was a contrast between two dancing genres (street and Ballet) since we thought this would give the opening sequence more of an impact and insight to the audience.


However because our opening sequence hadn't been finished we still hadn't uploaded our productions at the beginning of the opening and slotted in the name of the film, our fellow pupils commented about that since its there the two key aspects of a film knowing what your watching and whose it done by.

In spite of this overall we were very pleased with the feedback we had back and are willing to produce any changes needed.

Rough Cut

DVD Cover

This is an rough copy our DVD cover which hasn't been finished yet, since we need add our own pictures but our DVD cover was made on Adobe Photoshop CS4 this consisted of measuring a dvd cover which came to 10.75 inches width and 7.25 inches height, we needed these measurements so our cover when printed would be exactly the same size. Within photoshop you can do anything and download many over tools for your needs such as i download some brushes, as you can see from the image below there are smudge marks in red and black they were a couple of the downloads and the big shoe step on the front cover i downloaded as a brush. By using these brushes you can place them wherever you like and change the colour etc.

On the other hand, by researching DVD covers for many films gave us inspiration and ideas for what may our colour scheme, layout, writing etc would be like, so we thought if our opening sequence is to do with dance (street and ballet) that we would focus more on street for the edgey side of it. Therefore we come up with the colour scheme of bright, warm colours such as yellow, red and orange we thought that this would make the DVD stand out from the crowd. Also we added various features such as our production name and website, age for the movie, bonus content, formation of DVD, slogan and most importantly the name on the film, but we do need to include our own images and a blurb ( this should be shown in our final cut section ). I also tried to use similar font throughtout such as the stencil writing for 'Kick' since this was a very bold, noticable font that fitted very well with the street idea.

Overall i am pleased with the outcome so far and cant wait to see how the DVD cover all turns out hopefully it is a more success than it is.
