Film Case Design

 

 

Winner Winner Fidget Spinner Film Case

When designing the film case we had to take inspiration from other films to ensure our layout looked professional and detailed. The two films we took as inspiration were: Volver and Her.
 

 

 

The reason Volver was our first inspiration for making our film case was due to the fact that the cover uses bold and bright colours to gain their target audiences attention and to connote what their film was about. For example Volver is about passion, love and lust hence the colour of red being dominantly used in their film cover. However, we decided to manipulate the use of red as well as yellow due to them being primary colours which connotes what our film is about: childhood innocence. Childhood innocence is apparent throughout our film as our main character time travels for mundane tasks rather than serious and helpful tasks and he is completely unaware of his surroundings which further reinforces this childhood innocence to the audience. Now that we had the design of the film case we needed to sort the layout.

 

 

 

 

One iconic layout we found was the film cover of Her. Due to the film back of Her featuring a close up of their main character and a film reel we decided to feature this on our film cover to ensure our layout looked the best it could. However to avoid copyright we placed screenshots of our short film matched with a close up of our main character on the back of the film case. In addition to this, we added a thought bubble of the blurb to the film due to our main character posing as if he is pondering.

 

  

To ensure our film case looked professional we researched into what features on a film case and we added everything we needed to, to the back of the film case such as credits, the blurb, screenshots of the film and copyright information at the bottom of the case as well as the film age certificate and the blu ray logo.
