DVD cover inspiration 5

This is the DVD cover for the 2009 football hooliganism film 'The Firm'.

If you didnt know already, you could probably guess that it was a football hooligans film that was set in the 1980's because of the main image and the title. The way the characters are standing and what they are wearing on the cover suggests they are hooligans from the 80's as they have branded clothing such as 'Fila' to make them look from that era. They have purposely put the main hooligan at the front in bold red to suggest hes the leader and boss of 'The Firm'.

Also they have included vicuous weapons in to all the characters' hands onto the DVD cover to show the audience that they are very violent people. Also because of their stance that they have their arms out shows they are looking for a fight and that the film will be packed with violence start to finish.

The background of the cover looks very plain but the use of bright, bold colours for the characters makes them stand out and makes it look unusual, yet interesting. Also the fact that there are 7 people makes the audience think that they come in numbers which is very daunting.
