The Colour 'silver' is used alot here; after doing some research I found out that silver can be used to represent things being industrial, steel and high tech, and looking at the background on the front you can see that he is in a city therefore the DVD Cover looks as if it links greatly with the city. The man is carrying a gun and with him wearing a black suit and the film supposedly being about the city, this could link to the mafia. Also his facial expression being serious suggests he is out to get a job done, which also links to the mafia more. The woman on the back is wearing quite upper class clothes at the time, this also suggests that they are quite wealthy which also links to the mafia. Even the title of the film could relate to the mafia, as crime is done against the public, the title 'Public Enemies' makes sense.
I would suggest that with the features mentioned that this film's genre is action.
I like the design used on the back page however I would not like to use so much text, because I think alot of people would be turned off by it.
The first thing that anybody sees is the man and the woman holding eachother, the way they are holding eachother looks as if the man is protecting the woman, and in general, these two suggest that film is about romance. The man is wearing black which can relate to evil but also protection, and the woman is wearing red which links to danger, which again sets the picture that he is protecting her. The woman wearing red also suggests lust, and with her clutching tightly onto the man and the look at the camera suggests she is saying 'he's mine'. Everyone except the woman in red is wearing black, this suggests that perhaps she does not belong with this group of people. Gender can again be brought into the situation because gold can relate to the macsuline power, so this could say that men are in power in the film. With a wolf on the back cover and 'moon' being part of the title, it suggests that there will be werewolves in the movie and also the man and woman have their eyes shut, which suggests they don't want to see the wolf, perhaps because they won't it bother them or affect their relationship.
With this information I would say that the film must be a romantic thriller.
I like the front page design
Black is used alot in this DVD cover, possibly because black links to death and evil. This also links to the image on the back page, as you can see some kind of giant bird or something pulling the man out of a building through the window. The red title could also link to danger. The title being in all capitals could suggest that it's trying to stand out, almost shout 'Max Payne' at the audience to get their attention. The front cover image suggest alot about the character; with him looking down it suggests he wants to keep himself to himself and is probably quite a lonely character, or he could be doing this because he doesn't want anybody else to get hurt, him being on his own also suggests this. Also the two shotguns in his hands suggest he is quite a violent character, or could be linked to his work. Another thing is that it is snowing, and it makes him look like quite a cold character and maybe merciless.
The first thing that stands out is the image on the front; it is a very well known scene in the King Kong movies, where he makes his final stand on top of the Empire State Building against a handful of planes. The image makes him appear like the well known King Kong, not afraid of anything as he is so high up he mustn't be. The image also makes him look quite violent as he smashes a plane with his fist. The title being in blue, which is a soothing and relaxing/peaceful colour suggests maybe it is not him who is causing the fighting, but only defending himself, but of course since so many people know the King Kong movies already, they know this. With the title being in all capitals, this could be to make 'King Kong' stand out as the movie is about him, almost shouting it at the audience.
The image on the front is when one side of the city is curled above, it is seen in the trailer.
