DVD Cover

My original idea for my DVD cover was to have a picture of a young hand holding an older (signifying the young boy who's grown up and his young child). I also wanted to include the symbol of stars that runs right through my music video however, I couldn't think of a suitable picture that would include all aspects I wanted. I therefore changed my mind and decided to base my DVD cover around stars and fairy light as both images appear in my music video.

I cut out some paper stars and stuck them to string, I then hung them on my washing line at night and hung fairy lights behind them. I put a sheet behind to block any background objects. I then took a variety of photos from different angles so I could chose the best one to edit.

I changed the picture to black and white, which also complimented the theme that runs through my music video. I then blurred the vary lights even more (I had already manually changed the depth of focus slightly when taking the photo) and sharpened some of the colours and contrasts.

Below is the original photo compared with my finished one:
