Summary

| Description |
DVd cover for the 2002 film Dead in the Water |
|---|---|
| Source | |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The DVD cover is used to convey the impression intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
The digitized image of the original theatrical poster is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by Lions Gate Films Home Entertainment, without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the Dead in the Water (film) article and to assure readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the project in a way that words alone could not convey. |
| Replaceable? |
Because it is a digitized image of a DVD cover, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the impression intended by the photographer, the subjects and the film production company, would tarnish or misrepresent this person's image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary |
