Evaluations

Now that I have finished creating all three parts of my project, I will next evaluate each one below. 

The DVD Inlay

   I am quite happy with the cover of the DVD inlay. I think it looks how the cover of a film should. I am particularly happy with the special features box as I have used the same background as I have used for the title text. I think that I could have improved this design through better planning. If I had already completed the research for the trailer when creating the DVD inlay, I would have used photos from The Fifth Element on the back cover to be more consistent with the trailer and DVD disk. I think the front cover picture would look better if it had included a background image. This could have been a heart or something just to add some value to the front cover. If I had to do this project again, I would change the front picture as well as the back images.

The DVD Disk

   I like the image that I chose for the DVD disk as it is from The Fifth Element and remains consistent with the trailer. I think the image I have chosen goes well with the ROM COM theme. I am particularly pleased with the company logo that I have created as the shapes and colours together gives a nice blurry effect. If I had to design this again, I would probably include an image behind Bruce Willis or background scenery across the whole disk. I think this is probably the part of my project that I would give the most attention to if I were to attempt it again. I think I could have achieved some better effects with a bit more time and research.

The Trailer
    
   I am very happy with the final result of my trailer, there are lots of things that I like about it. I like that Bruce Willis is singing the soundtrack, I think this adds value to the trailer. I think that the effects I have managed to create with the vest top shimmering in the pillars of light look like they are in the original footage - his facial expressions help with this effect. The thing that I am most pleased with from this section is the animated green screen Bruce Willis that I found on YouTube. I really like the scene that announces the starring actors where the animation is dancing within two silver spinning hearts. I tried to fit the video in with the audio which worked particularly well in the first few scenes. If I were to make this trailer again, I'm not sure what I would change. This is the part of the project that I am happiest with and think it turned out quite well.
