Analysing DVD Cover Eight

On this cover, the first thing that catches your attention is the figure of the woman at the window. The audience would immediately ask questions such as who is she and why is she by the window. Also as she is pressed up against it, looking in, it makes you feel trapped like you have no escape. The window pane looks grimy and dirty so makes us question where this is and why it is so dirty. There is a eerie feel to it as we cannot see the woman's face and all that is behind her is foggy woodland.
The title itself tells us that the woman is not wanted. The font used has a creepy feel to it also.

The main focus of the cover is the characters. The woman's face stands out as its very pale with bright red lipstick on. The blood dripping down from her mouth leads the audience to believe that she is the victim. The other characters are all placed behind her, which could denote the meaning that they were behind her death or that they are all linked to her and that she is the main focus in the film.

All the characters shows different emotions on their faces. Josh Hartnett comes across as looking worried and anxious, Aaron Eckhart makes it look like he is sure of something and looks in charge of things whereas the two actresses look like they both have something to hide, making the audience question if they were involved. Questions that may arise from the audience could be who is the woman, why is she dead and how did she die.

The colours used in the title fade from red to black. This may be done intentionally as the blood from the woman's mouth drip down to the title.

Analysing DVD Cover Six

On this cover, the way that the characters are positioned and the props that they are holding mean significant things and show the relationship between the two of them. For example, the fact that she is imitating the way he walks and looking at him shows that she looks up to him and that he is possibly a role model to her. We can see that he may not be an "appropriate" role model as he is carrying a gun while she is carrying a teddy bear. This shows an important difference between them and that he may be out of his depth with the young child.

The title being in red could represent danger. The background sets the scene and allows the audience to see where the story is taking place. A possible enigma to arise from the poster could be he question of why she is with him and why he is carrying a gun.

The colour scheme used in the cover are quite warm but the reddish tones and shades of black add a dark, sinister feel to it. These warm tones could also be seen as a connatation for the antagonists passions and motives. The seven sins being listed down the middle and then being crossed out with a red line may also give the audience a insight to the antagonists motives; the tagline: "Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die" add to this and give them a sense of his inspirations.
The eyes of the two characters are emphasised the most out of their whole face and I feel they portay two different emotions; fear and determination. The title is styled and written in a way as if it were blood and had been smeared on.

The tagline shown at the top: "We tell ourselves there's nothing to fear but sometimes we're wrong" reflects the colours and setting shown in the picture. The front of the room where the main character is standing seems normal and it doesn't show anything threatening however as we move towards the back of the picture it gets darker and we see a masked figure placed at the back. This reflects what the character has to "fear". This device is known as dramatic irony; where there audience knows something that the character does not.
The masked face in the background also leaves the audience with an enigma and leads them to question who it is and why they are there. The stretched out effects placed on the title give it an eerie feel and almost give it a blurred effect making you have to look twice.
