I have carried out breif research on horror based DVD and CD covers. This has helped to give me a better idea of how professional designs apprear today on the market. Here, I have specificly looked at horror designs as this relates to the surgery scene in our music video. They have a gory effect. The covers I looked at also relate to zombies.

1. Research for Digipac

2. ‘Dead set’ DVD cover

3. ‘Shaun of the dead’ DVD cover

4. ‘Michael Jackson’ CD cover

5. The three covers I have studied (Dead set, Shaun of the dead and Thriller by Michael Jackson) all connote horror. Each one also relates to zombies. This kind of cover would be suitable when relating to the surgery scene in zombie love. Reds are used to symbolise blood and gore. Black, greys and dark greens give an airy and chilling atmosphere. These are effective ideas, however, my partner and I won’t make ours as horrifying. As our zombie our good characters and romance along with comedy is portrayed in our video, we want to make the designs less frightening. We also need to relate to a wide range of teenagers.
