Week 4/5

This week I started to think about my DVD menu, what genre I wanted and how i wanted to lay it all out. First of all I looked through a software called 'Adobe Encore' which is what I will be using for my final DVD menu. I looked at previous examples of other students' menus and from that I knew how far i could or could not go with the effects of the menu, so I had to keep it simple. 

I had to pick a genre I would use for my menu I was also told to go away from the genres I enjoy watching and try something new as I would learn from genres I am not into, but I stuck with thriller as I believe that this genre would be the most exciting to use for a menu as you can do many things with effects i.e gunshots, explosions and mysterious settings like an old noir themed film.

As I knew my genre I knew how I would set my moodboard out which was very similar to the moodboard i had created for my movie poster. There are themes of neo noir, action, violence and shock in my moodboard which is what i wanted to aim at, a shock thriller.
