DVD Trailer

I opened up an new project in premiere and started working on the trailer. I opened up few little clips that i have and chose the little bits that i wanted to make the trailer. i did this because i wanted to involved different clips to make one and then i added different text to each bit,introducing who was who on the trailer. i also added a video transition called the disolve effect which when implemented changed quickly just how i wanted it to.

DVD Cover reassignment 4

I added text on to the DVD cover so that people could see what my DVD is about. I made it big enough for people to read and dark enough so that it does not blend into the background because it would not be easy to read it if it did.

 

I also added a few more characters on to the DVD Cover because it needed more characters to make it believable and how it would included older children as well as younger children which would make it a family film

I used the lasso tool to place any character images on to the cover because it would take away any background areas i did not want. this would make it look better and a little bit more professional.

DVD Label Reassignment 2

I have changed a couple of the opacities on some layers so that it looks like it is blended on properly. this then takes away any blemishes that i may have missed and makes it look a little bit more professional.

DVD Label Reassignment 1

I placed an image of one of the main characters from the film because I wanted to portray it as a children's DVD. I then added the age rating that is normally used on DVD's to show that it was a child friendly film. I then used the brush tool to take any blemishes from any of the images so that it blended in better.

DVD Label Reassignment

I used the pen tool to create an almost square around my guides as I wanted to keep it looking similar to the cover. The main colour in the cover was green, so therefore I created the label with a green background on it.

Then used the type tool to create the name of DVD which is called "Playground Fun". I then created outlines around the text so that I could use the warp tool. this created it to look like it was following a wave of text which created an atmosphere that most children find exciting.

DVD Cover Reassignment 2

I decided to look at the different effect that Photoshop had available. I decided upon using a gradient overlay because this would make it look almost cartoon like, and many children will sit and watching something that appeals to them.

DVD Cover Reassignment 1

After looking at all the different filters, I decided upon using the lens blur filter as this was the easiest upon the eyes and did not take the image completely away. I also changed the layer transparencies, because it made the image look softer and the green grass did not look as bright as it did. this made it look more like natural grass during the summer.

I also changed the levels as this made it look less bright and I wanted it to be as natural as possible so that it looks appealing to the eye.

DVD Cover - Reassignment

I have decided to work on my DVD cover for my assignment.

To begin with, I decided to choose an image of a park because I have decided to make a children's comedy film. I thought about the park as most children enjoy being at the park and I thought that this would appeal to them.

The image I chose reminded me of my childhood and how I loved being on swings, so I decided to make a DVD cover based on how popular swings are in parks.

To begin with, I decided to place my image on a new layer in Photoshop. I then started playing around with the hue and saturation to change the colours and how dark they are in the image. I chose to change the hue and saturation to make it look like the grass was greener and that the ground beneath the swings look darker. This is how the image came out as:
