First solid effort of a DVD cover for the client's work.

Here is a really quick and amatuerish design idea for the DVD menu that will go on the BCS promotional DVD. It's simplistic and in keeping with the company's colours, much like their website.

For the final version I would want to use much more professional looking fonts and buttons and possibly motion graphics in the background.

After research came thought into what I wanted to do with mine.

I came to the conclusion that the best way to stop people pirating is to scare them into thinking they will be caught, this is why the message of my advert will be that your IP address can be tracked.

It will start off with a student (as they are probably the biggest culprits of file-sharing) entering his dorm room, sitting down, turning on his computer and clicking to continue a download amongst a lit of other downloads. Then his screen will go black and a message that fills the whole screen will display text saying that sharing copyrighted material is illegal, it will then go on to say that the IP address can and will be tracked. The students happy face turns to a sad one and he looks out his window to hear police sirens.

The audio will be a fast-paced electronic song until the warning message comes up, where the fast-song will fade out and some dissonant audio will start playing.

Here are some pictures that give an idea of what it will look like:

Comments and ideas welcomed.

I reshot my film on Tuesday 28th April with a modified script and losing two of the five characters. There was just too many characters and too much going on for a 6 minute film and I'm very glad I did reshoot it because it looks a lot better and will therefore hopefully get me a higher mark :)

Anyway, here are the production stills from that day.

This is a collection of the best of the production stills taken during the shoot on Monday 23rd February. They are displayed here in reverse order.

I have managed to secure The Salutation Inn's haunted underground caves as the location for my film and last night I went down to be shown around them and took the opportunity to take photos of the caves. Its very dank and spooky down there and is the exact location I had in mind for my film, really adding to the realism for the story.

Here are some action shots of us producing our Documentary. These will be included with the rest of the paperwork when the project is finally submitted.
