The DVD cover shown above is for a horror-comedy themed film called 'Doghouse'. By the way the DVD cover looks, you can instantly tell it has a theme of horror in it because of the dark and gloomy colours that are used. I will also try to use this technique to portray my films genre when i make my DVD cover. Also the fact that there are zombies in the background gives a sense of danger upon the 3 main characters featured in the middle of the cover which entices the audience to see what happens.
If you hadn't seen this film, you may not know that the zombies in the film are all female, which suggests why there woman at the top at the cover with suspenders (suggesting shes a woman) with blood all over her. By using this image at the top of the page, the creator of the cover is trying to attract male attention to the cover because of the sexual nature.
The comic side to this cover is how the man on the left has a water pistol in his hands which suggests he is going to try and fight these deadly zombies with it. I dont think this cover is extremely different from any other, but it tells the story in a sense to the audience. I will be hoping to use similar techniques to make my DVD cover up to a very good standard.
