DVD Cover Analysis

DVD analysis

When I thought about my DVD cover I thought what do most RomCom movies look like? On most covers you see the couple, the actors name, the title etc., and then I thought about what most RomComs are about, so two people who may start off not knowing each and falling in love or two people who hate each other and end falling in love etc. it’s all the same. So in my DVD cover I wanted the usual DVD but with some differences. Like how you don’t see many white background RomCom DVD covers and also wanted the cover to connect with the title, I have chosen A YEAR WITH YOU so the cover had lots of calendar pages from all year round. It’s a very simple DVD cover but has a real connection with you when you first see it. It stands out.

The genre of DVD is RomCom. The actors I have chosen are Emma Stone and Chris Evans is because Emma Stone is one of my favourite actresses she has done many movies such as Easy A, the amazing Spiderman and Gangster Squad. All of which I Love. She is also has a very good personality and I thought she would fit the part perfectly. Chris Evans is also a very good Actor who has been in many movies such as Avengers, What’s Your Number and Fantastic Four. On the cover they I thought they went really well together and look like the perfect couple.

The colours I choose are red and white but I put little hints of black to make it stand out more. I also had the falling calendar pages at the back to make you look down the page to the bottom so you get a full view of the cover. I put the characters in this clothing because I wanted to show their differences. He is wearing casual clothing jeans and t-shirt hands in pocket not paying much attention to her and I put her in a pink dress to show she is putting in effort always trying to look good. He’s in black and I put him at the back so her pink dress stands out more against him.

I have chosen the title a year with you because I wanted a title that is short and catchy and I wanted a title that has a sort of mystery to it. When you hear a year with you are they happy about spending a year together. Do they have to spend a year together? Is it their choice they have to be together? Also in most RomCom movies you see them together for a long period of time watching their relationship progress. I then thought it would be clever to have them standing in the calendar pages to make it look like they are counting the days off they have been together.

The review from The Sun, is good for the movie because its say a movie you will love all year round this connects to the title which I thought would be funny and amazing is in capital and in red to stand out and make you think it’s an amazing movie making you want to watch it. 

I am very happy with my DVD cover.
