Analysing DVD Sleeves

The front page is a smaller version of the film poster fro the picture. The content of this dvd sleeve contains a blurb on the back. The tag line 'Some assembly required' is at the top of the front page. The dvd sleeve lists the special features on the back page in an easy to find red box. The age restriction is 12 and is shown so on the front, spine and back of the dvd sleeve. On this particular dvd sleeve the barcode isn't on here but it is usually on the back. The star names are mentioned under the tag line containing Robert Downey JR, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson, any other star names are in the credits bar. The top half of the back page is basically made up of screen shots from in the film. The unique selling point of this film would be the collection of stars appearing in this film. The type of picture on the front page of this dvd sleeve is a narrative picture as it informs the reader that there is an alien invasion/destruction of earth going on in the background and the heroes in the front with save the day. on the back page it informs what the age restrictions mean, this would be the parents guidance. The credits bar is on the back page underneath the red box as it is a legal requirement.

The front page for this dvd sleeve is different to the poster. The content of this dvd sleeve contains a small blurb on the back. The tagline 'Courage is Immortal' is located underneath the title. The special features is found on the back page in the glowing blue box. The age restriction is hard to notice at first but is on the back page underneath the credits bar as PG13. The barcode for this page is on the top part of the back page. The star name of Chris Hemsworth is above the title of the film, the other actor name however is in the credits bar. On the back page, on the left to the glowing blue box is a few screen shots from the film. The unique selling point of this dvd sleeve would be Chris Hemsworth and the fact that loads of people like 'Thor'. You may not think it at first but the front page is a narrative picture, if you look close enough in the background you will see that there is a robot destroying a building so the story idea we get is that Thor will be fighting this robot. This dvd sleeve states that this film is PG13 so that suggests that Parental Guidance is required. The credits bar is on the back page on this dvd sleeve because it is a legal requirement.

The dvd sleeve front page is a smaller version of the film poster. The content of this dvd sleeve contains a blurb on the back. This dvd sleeve doesn't seem to have a tag line. The special features is on the back page next to a picture of a small version of the front page. It is hard to notice but at the bottom of the back page is the age restriction PG13 next to the DVD Video icon. The barcode for this dvd sleeve is on the back page at the top next to the picture of Uma Therman. The star names are George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Therman, Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone, the other actor names would be in the credits bar. There are only two screen shots, one of Uma Therman as 'Poison Ivy' and one of Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. The unique selling point I think is the stars George Clooney, Uma Therman and Arnold Schwarzenegger as hey are popular actors. There isn't really a narrative picture on this dvd sleeve. The age rating is PG13 so that suggests that Parental Guidance is required. The credits bar is on the back page as it is a legal requirement.
