By looking at the front cover of this DVD, I am given the impression that this particular TV show is going to be a comedy/drama. I am given this impression by the characters facial expressions, they are either smug, silly or serious. Giving a further impression that the characters have different personalities that must clash together. I also feel a sense of romance between the female and the character to her right, even though she is leaning on the other male. I think this because of the eye contact between one an other. But, the fact that she does have her eyes on one male and physically touching another, gives the impression that she may be a bit of a flirt. Her clothing is normal and not very revealing, it just shows her arms and we only see the top of her body so we can't make any further judgement. However, her hair is a mess, she's very attractive and looks flirty. The looks between one an other creates enigma for the audience.
By the woman being placed in the centre of the two males, perhaps makes her the most dominant, maybe because she is a prime example of the 'male gaze'. But, the fact that she is the only female in the prescence of two male figures makes her an example of masculinity because she doesn't look particularly girly.
The broad, capital lettered title also gives the impression that it isn't particularly girly because it isn't fluent and nice colours, it's black and red.
When looking at the back of the DVD cover, we see the two males from the front cover in a long shot in their underwear looking silly, giving another impression that this particular television show. The other pictures on the back of the cover, give the impression that this woman definitely is the more dominant because the males are doing stupid/geeky things and she looks the complete opposite.
We also get a brief discription of the series which again should give an impression whether it is comedy. We also get the legal requirements.
