Dylan's Original Music Soundtrack

I thought it would be appropriate to create a soundtrack, to go with the DVD and poster, as part of cross media convergence, this would be used to help promote our film. The front cover consists of an image of Jade (from the opening sequence) at the beach scene on the pier. Whilst editing the cover to make it look more effective and imaginitive, I used a blur effect, that focused on the face of Jade-I wanted to make it almost look like a shallow focus effect. I tinted the image in a grey, the reason being to add onto the colour imagery, that the character doesn't just see life through white, but also through black (in her second personality), and as you know, white and black mixed create grey. The font I used is appropriate to the whole style of the film, using two different fonts, one in which has a slant, partly curly and modern, and the other being more straight, a bit like hand writing. I choose the fonts personally because i quite liked them but also because i felt like it needed to be bold to catch attention and it needed to be attractive to the eye, i wanted it also to suit th style. Lastly i choose the colours only to compliment the background, however the white does actually connect with the personality of the main character Jade-natural, pure and angelic.

Editing wise, i used the same effect, creating a shallow focus effect on the flower, tinting everything else grey. However, i enhanced the colour on the flower itself, so the beauty of the forget me not is presented well. I thought that within the image, all attention needed to be focused on the flower to help create the impact on the flower imagery, how the flower links in with the story and the character. The image is a shot from behind jade, looking out to sea. The white font representing the character and also complimenting the background like in the front cover. The titles of the peice of music were completely originally made up by myself with a tiny bit of help from some of the other members of my group, we just choose names that sounded like they associated with the film well. One thing i didn't take into consideration was where a barcode would go, they are usually in the bottom right corner of the back cover, which in my cover, would go ontop of the name of the composer which is an important part of information, although it is also on the front cover.
