Cover Comparison

DVD covers for Films vary in design to DVD covers for music.

Music cover:






























Metallica use unique font for the title, this is easily recognizable to fans. They also have pictures of the band performing, there are shots of the individual members instead of just the main singer. This lets people appreciate the band as a whole and makes it more about the bands music instead of the image. The style of music is easily recognized from the cover, this will help attract anyone interested in that genre of music.


this cover fits in with nirvana's style of having stuff in black and white which will allow fans to recognize them. the shot is also of the band so this tells us that they are trying to sell the band through its music. We can tell from the black and white and stance of the members that the songs will be in a depressing tone.























This cover shows a laid back, relaxed look to it which can tell us what the music is about.


























from the look of the cover we can see the genre of music quite clearly, it is rather grungy and death related, the main clues to this are the masks and dark tint. This cover breaks away from conventions because it refuses to have a title which makes it stand out to the rest.

DVD film cover:




























This movie cover shows us lots of scenes from it. it helps us understand what the movie will be about and allows you to recognize famous actors that may attract you to watch it.



This cover shows us that the film isn't that serious and the bright colours will make it appeal to young individuals. The fact that well renowned actors do the voices might make the film appeal to older people aswell.






As we can see here, movie covers tend to showcase the characters and story. Film covers also showcase the celebrity actors, whereas a music cover won't always have the names of all the members of group on the cover.

Music covers normally will have a picture of the band on the cover. they will also have the track list.

Live action movies often have scenes from the movie on the cover.
