Analysis of "Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark
The DVD for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark starts with an opening clip that goes to a brief title screen then the appears across the bottom of the screen. Going on in the background is a composite of several scenes form the movie with transitions consisting of things like an airplane, truck, boats, etc. The composite seems to have paintbrush effect over everything with certain things like characters standing out more with more vibrant color scheme. In my opinion, the paintbrush effect seems a little cheesy. The audio clip in the background is the theme song for the movie.
The menu at the bottom looks like a strip of paper from a map with torn edges. The menu text is in all caps and in a black text. The menu consists of “Play, Set Up, Scene Selection, and IndianaJones.com.” The highlight text color is red. When transitioning into the Scene Selection menu, there is an airplane that flies in and off to the right. When transitioning out of the menu it flies out to the left. The name of this menu appears in the Indiana Jones title font in the same orange to yellow gradient. This menu has four different small clips running with the name of each scene under each. Off to the left hand side is list of all the scenes broken into groups of four with a Main Menu, menu item. The highlight text is still red. Each of the scenes displayed appears to have a mask over it to give the edges a look like they are displayed on a piece of canvas or something. In the background is a side scrolling map that fades into what loks like a temple. The color scheme consists of yellows and browns. The audio in the background is a short, mysterious sounding clip. The text on this menu seems a little small, but readable. On a smaller television this could be a problem.
The transition to the setup menu also has an airplane, but a different one and a short clip that goes into what looks like the fountain of youth. The Set Up text is in the same Indiana Jones font, but the sub menu items are in a dark red. Audio Options and Subtitle Options are here, the end of “Options” on “Subtitle Options” is a little difficult to read, as well two of the subtitle options.
The menu for this DVD could have been a little fancier, but it works, and the main menu is really simple and straightforward.
