The DVD.

For an added extra task we made a sticker to put on our DVD. Again we have taken inspiration from the film Dreamgirls where some stills taken from the film are shot from behind the three girls with lights above and infront flaring into the lens of the camera. We used a photo taken by Chelsea on the day of filming but there were certain things that i wanted to have adjusted to the image to better suit our other media products and achieve some intertextuality. I wanted to darken the whole background of the image because you could see the school tables, fire exit signs and by darkening the image it just simply made the image look much more cleaner and less cluttered. Also i wanted more lights above the singers which was something Chelsea knew how to do. On the original photo there was only 4 lights but Chelsea photoshopped in four more and a lens flare in the middle.


I am pleased with what we achieved because although it isn't as aesthetically bright and beautiful as the dreamgirls image it covers it in a much more simplistic way.  Ours is alot duller but our background wasn't nice to look at so in my opinion it had to be taken out which is different from the original as theres is much brighter but it appears as though they had far many more lights at their disposal. Similarly they both have a glow around the artists which is one thing we strived to make right, so therefore based on these positives about the sticker it is one of the production items i am most happy with.
