My Dvd cover is a close up shot of the main character in Hannibal. His face is cast in half shadow which could show that he is constantly in doubt and regret throughout the film. His eyes are red which suggests insanity and maddness. His facial expression is quite confident which could show that he is quite a key part in the goings on in the film. The title "Hannibal" is quite enigmatic which is how it leaves a lot of hidden meanings in to be seen in the film itself. Most of the cover is dark which signifys mystery and that there is a lot of story line that is uncovered. The man looks like the protagonist in the film as he is the only image on the cover which suggests that he has a quite important role. The cover features all the same conventions as any other traditional covers would have, this allows the viewers to recognise the genre so they know what type of film it will be. In this case it is only suitable for the ages of over 18. The fact that the main shot is a close up suggests that there should be an emphasis on his facial expression, this gives you a clue to the type of thriller it is trying to be. The fact that there is not much information on the cover could show a sense of abnormality which is also suggested from the scary sounding title.
