London to Brighton film dvd cover analysis

Layout- On the cover page a lot a different images from the film have been shown which means that there is no main image as you would probably find a typical thriller movie cover page. However, the images seem to be some kind of linked as at the top on the right hand side two women are shown looking to left side. The two women seem to be pretty innocent and scared, which could probably mean that they are the victims, and therefore also main characters. At the top of the left hand side it looks like the man is looking at them, which might mean that he is the one who actually scare them throughout the movie.

Images - There are three other images which shows a gun, a frightened man talking on the phone (maybe asking for help) and two girls walking, while one of them look back which could mean that she is scared that something may happen. The gun allow the audience to think that there would be a lot of action in the film and maybe, even death. The fact that the girl is looking back could mean that some sort of chase is going on, which also creates suspense which makes the audience want to watch it even more.

Colour and lighting- The red used on the cover stands out from the main colour(white) of the entire cover. The red is usually linked with blood and death whereas the white is usually linked with purity, this creates a strong contrast as it creates some sort of mind game as the audience do not know what to expect from the film.

Title & Tag line- The title "London to Brighton" is made to stand out from the cover, as it's made in a bigger font than the other writings. This makes the audience to concentrate and focus on the title, and try to work out what could ever happen in the film. This also tells the audience where the film was made, to also add value on the United Kingdom, so that people would be more likely to go and watch it the film.
The tag line says " Innocence has nowhere to hide", this could mean that some sort of chase is going on, as it tries to tell the audience that the victims probably have nowhere safe enough to go to.

Reviews- A couple of reviews are shown on a red background at the top of the front cover by some of the most publisher known. One review has been made even bigger, to make it stands out as the "The Guardian" says :"The best british film of the year", this has been done as the guardian is one of the most famous critics ever, which would probably make the audience want to watch it even more, as that newspaper is regularly read by people.
