DVD Cover Research - Harry Brown


This is the DVD cover for the film Harry Brown starring Michael Caine. I like this cover as it is only very basic but still is very eyecatching and appealling. The background to the cover is a light white which contrasts to the other images present on the cover. The main character in the film and also who holds the name of the film as his name is the largest image on show. The reason this will have been done is because of his popularity which will raise the profile of the film making more people want to watch the film. As with the rest of the characters present on the cover they have been edited to a greyscale to show dull and myseterious characters.
The only colour on the page comes from the target behind the title of the film. This makes you look directly at this area as it is the brightest on the page which automatically makes you read the title of the film. The way the targets links is due to the gun crime in the film and by showing a target it will create an appeal to people who are into gangster, gun crime, gang films.
As the cover itself is only very basic i feel i could produce this in my own products still making it look affective without looking plain and boring.
