The woman in black- DvD cover analysis

1. Analysis of The Woman in
Black DVD Cover
By Megan English

2. The dark clouds and
figures contrasting
with the bright light
behind the main
character shows
binary opposition and
gives a eerie feel to
the film. The house in
the far background
along with the grave
stone surrounded in
fog suggests that
they’re a relevant to
the film plot. The fog
in the background
suggests mystery and
shrouding anything
that might give the
film’s story away
making the audience
feel the need to
watch it. Also the
hooded figure in the
background again
adds to mystery.
The title is in Bold capital letters and the colour
is in white. This could again link back to mystery
or spiritual elements.
The age rating 12 is put at the bottom to remind
the audience the age rating for the film.
By having the main actors name in the middle it lets the audience know
who the main actor is and having him pictured in the centre makes the
audience interested to see the film.
The short synopsis
on the back
doesn’t give away
too much of the
plot so it still
interests the
audience to see it.
It uses quotes from
reviews and star
ratings to show to
the audience all
the good reviews
and that t’s worth
watching as other
people have
suggested it.
The information at
the bottom shows
The audience the extra information if relevant.
E.g. the run time of film etc. and has the
symbols for the DVD sponsors for the DVD.
