The emptiness of the road on the right hand side on the front cover, along with the blood splatter on the back cover would suggest that this is a horror/thriller DVD. As many flee from a town, just one cowboy enters it which suggests he is either the ‘hero’ in the DVD, or the ‘villain’.
Mise en scene
‘The walking dead’ title is very big and bold at the top, which is very eye-catching for an audience so it will intrigue them to look at this. The colour of the whole DVD cover is very dull, which connotes that there is something bad happening in it. There’s an episode breakdown on the back which gives an insight into what the DVD is about. The man approaching the city seems to be from the rural areas as he is a cowboy, which might mean that he is purely going into the city on work basis, therefore playing the hero.
Semiotics
There aren’t any shown relationships on the DVD cover which will suggest that there is no romance or any bonds formed in it. Although the background is very dull, there is sunlight appearing through the cloud which connotes a happy ending.
Representations
There are representations of a ghost town on the DVD
cover as only one man approaches it. He seems to be a cowboy which is a
representation of a traditional man as he is strong etc.
