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.

BBC Films is the feature film-making arm of the BBC. It has produced or co-produced some of the most successful British films of recent years, including Stage Beauty, A Cock and Bull Story andMatch Point. It currently produces approximately eight films per year.
Up until 2007, BBC Films was ran and funded as a private company, with its own offices (in Mortimer Street around the corner from Broadcasting House), while still under the full control of the BBC. A recent re-structure of the division has seen it re-integrated into the main BBC Fiction department of BBC Vision, under the ultimate control of Jane Tranter. As a result, it has moved out of its independent offices into Television Centre and its head, David M. Thompson, has left to start his own film production company.

Creation is a powerful story which illustrates a key period in Darwin's life: the years while he was formulating one of the most important works ever written - On the Origin of Species is a book that changed forever the way people think about mankind's evolution.
Paul Bettany stars as the charismatic Charles Darwin, a brilliant scientist and devoted father. Inspired by Annie, his treasured daughter, Darwin writes On The Origin Of Species and finds himself not only pitted against society's beliefs, but against his wife Emma. Yet the decision to publish his manuscript rests in Emma's hands. Jennifer Connelly plays Emma, a deeply religious and passionate woman faced with a terrible choice: her faith or the man she loves.
Jon Amiel (Entrapment, Sommersby, The Singing Detective) directs from a screenplay by John Collee (Master and the Commander: The Far Side of the World, Happy Feet), based upon Randal Keynes' book, Annie's Box, about the life of his great great grandfather, Charles Darwin.
