I also created my own variants of these covers, in a style that had a higher contrast, connoting the gritty tone of the documentary:
The photo we had chosen to use was taken in landscape, therefore it didn't fit properly when placed onto the portrait template. I tried to mask this by using a gradient layer, however this looks very amateur.
I then re-edited the image so that the skateboard was in the centre of the image, making it the focal point. Instead of using a gradient layer, I copied the original image and blended it to the bottom so that it appeared to be longer.
For the title I took inspiration from All This Mayhem's cover, by placing the text on the right hand side of the image. I also used the same from that we used for the title in the video, to keep consistent. To make the cover look more realistic, I added the DVD video logo and an age rating. I think our film would be rated 12 since there are discussions related to drugs, which are inappropriate for younger audiences. Other than that there is not violence or nudity, so it doesn't need to be specifically targeted at an older audience.
