Development of Final Idea For My DVD Menu

The ideas and research for my final DVD Menu are developing and the ways in which I have developed my ideas is my creating and mood board which symbolises and represents the features within my DVD Menu. The aspects and features which are represented within the mood board are features such as the colour scheme, textures, images, fonts and existing products, therefore through the mood board this gives a sense as to how my DVD Menu will look and be represented. This mood board will be annotated within Photoshop, which is similar to the mood board which I created for my Movie Poster mood board.

Also this week I am generating my images for the DVD Menu, and these will be taken by me and these will be edited within Photoshop and then placed into the PSD's for the DVD Menu and will link into Encore for the different pages to be linked together, and with the images in place this will make the DVD Menu look original and when people look at the DVD Menu they will be able to see the genre of the DVD Menu.

I have sketched out my menus for my DVD Menu and how I wish for them to look, I have also annotated these images as then you can easily see what the features are within the menu and the actions are explained within the annotation. There are six linked pages within my DVD Menu and these are the Main Menu, Scene Selection (2 pages), Special Features, Subtitles and Audio Setup. By creating these skecthes it has helped me in imagining how my DVD Menu may look and how all the elements and features within the DVD Menu can link together to create a flowing DVD Menu.

Below are some of my annotated skectches for my DVD Menu:
