Video/dvd release poster 

‘‘The feel good film of the decade’’, this is shown on the cover of the dvd directly below the picture, this could be attracting to the audience because everyone likes to feel good and if someone was to purchase a dvd they may be more interested to purchase this particular one because of the good effect it may have on the buyer. the review reflects on the film mainly because Slumdog millionaire is a feel good film.

the cover of the dvd is bright and exciting, there are streamers in the air and the boy and the girl on the cover have a facial expression of excitement and happiness this shows to the public instantly that the film is going to be full of joy and happiness rather than violence and action, because the background is white its a neutral color whereas if the background was black you could assume the film is going to be a horror or even an action film.

In some cases the dvd cover can be better than the actual film poster itself, on a poster it can only have maybe one or two pictures but on a dvd cover you can have space to put in a couple of captions from the film for the audience to see and have a look of some other parts of the film.
