Week 7 - DVD Menu layout through Photoshop.

This is my main menu which i have set up through Photoshop so that I can transfer it through to Encore when I have finished all of my other transitions. In the main menu I have all of the normal text options, play, extras, options and scenes. What i have set out for my 'rollover' button is the text to appear when the text is selected, so no text is there to begin with but when you hover over a text it will appear. I have done the same with the 'easter egg' seeing as though easter eggs are supposed to be hidden I thought that I should use the same style for it, except you have to go through all of the text options first.

I have changed quite abit since my annotation and sketches but kept the layout the same, also I have set it out through a 'artistic' set out. I got this idea from the film 'A scanner darkly' I liked how it was a very serious film but was set out through a kind of 'cartoonised' fashion.

This is my 'scene select' transition where I will use my animation. I am going to have the strip of film negative to fly in from the right and onto the scenes pictures.

At the bottom right of the shot is a red text 'HOME' which will return you to the main menu I have done the same styled 'rollover button' for this page and all of the others, including the home button.






With the scene select page I have added my animation, which is the film reel flying in from off screen and placing itself into the screenshots.

This is a screen grab of the animation in process, notice it coming in from off screen. I will have to make it flow in adobe encore, I am going to save my main menu as two seperate files. one being a PSD and one being a rendered movie file, when I import it I will be able to create a timeline and import my movie file into it which will create the animation which I will play through.
