Dvd cover development

I have already made a film poster so now I am making DVD Sleeve of my Film idea 'Killing Silence'










I got the measurements of a normal DVD sleeve, made a page that size then used the 'ruler' tool to make the spine of the sleeve.

I then chose the background off my poster but because it was mainly dark and I made the back of the cover black to suit the theme of my film using the 'square tool' then filled it in with the 'paint pot' tool.








I then used the same image as my poster but made myself smaller and more central so I can make it portrait and not landscape. I made it smaller using the 'free transform' option.
I then added my title onto the front and side, I had to rotate the text so it would go on the spine as well.





I then added the tagline.

I then added the age rating on the front, spine and back, I got the image off the internet, I also added the 'DVD' logo because all DVD's have them on, I put one on the back and spine, finally I put a logo I made on 'Adobe Illustrator' on the front back and spine to show it is mine.






I then added the actors name into the top so people know who the main actors are so people might get it for the actors.









I then added an audi r8 to the background so there is something good to look at at shows this is his car, I got it off my film poster.









I then put a synopsis on the back which is similar to a blurb on a book so it gives a bit of insight into the film to encourage people to buy the DVD. 









I then got some images off the internet to show different scenes in the film and I also took one picture to put in. I also put in a box to show the special features so people know what is in the film and want to buy it.







I added the final legal stuff which is the credits, barcode, why it is a 15 and the other information like the region and running time, I got most of the legal things off the internet but the credit bar off learning box and changed certain things.





























This is my final DVD sleeve for my film

Killing silence poster

I have created a film poster of my own.

I started off by taking a picture of myself in a suit posing. this was the picture I chose to use in my poster
















To make it fit in I took away the background by using the 'quick selection' tool then got rid of the background.
I then got a background off Google then put myself into the scene of it and put myself at a reasonable size so I fit in. Luckily the colour of me matched the colour of the background image.










I then got an image of an Audi r8 off Google because it's a good car and fits into the theme of my film, I got id of the background using the 'pen tool' to go round the car then putting it into the image of me with the background







I then put the Audi in the background, flipped it so it fit in and changed the colour. To change the colour so it fit in I changed the colour balance, then made it darker then went over it in a transparent yellow brush tool.








I then added a title in to the middle, to make it look better I did one word in red then the other in white, I also changed the font so it looks like it would be used to fit into the genre of the film. This was put in using the text tool.









Then I added a tagline to make it stand out more and make it tell the story in one line. This was put in using the text tool.










I then added the BBFC rating, which is 15 because I thought it would be violent but not too violent and not put any sex scenes in so it wouldn't be an 18. Also I made my own logo using Adobe Illustrator, which is basically my initials but the C going round the 'AP' and putting productions underneath to show it is my film





I then added my name as the main actor so it is the biggest, added 2 other well known actors, Scarlett Johanson as the main girl and Robbie Coltrane as the main bad guy leader. These were also put in using the text tool.








I then added a well know director 'Tony Gilroy' who makes one of the bourne films so he knows what sort of thing to do.











Finally I added the legal part which I got off learning box but slightly changed parts so it was part of my film, like the actors names, the director and producer etc...



































This is my Final Poster

Wednesday, 12 December 2012

I have made some idea's about my poster like different title names and different storylines
 These are my working titles that I wanted to choose from, the ones on the left are assassin films I wanted to choose from and on the right are an army film, I couldn't choose which one I would rather do so I gave myself an option by doing both, the title i I chose was Killing Silence or Aftermath




 




I then thought of some taglines to go with the films, because I had thought of titles for my assassin film and my army film I also thought of some taglines for both, the tagline I chose was 'Can you hear death?' or 'Will they find you?'


I then thought of some designs for my final idea, I drew a couple 1st and then made one on photoshop, I think my final idea will be more like the photoshop one but I will be the person with the gun.


I then wrote a storyline for each of my choices, one for my Assassin and one for my war. Just for when i write my proposal I can say what is going to happen















Finally I chose to do the Assassin film 'Killing Silence'
