616 23. Creating Show Menus

Menus as Interactive Pages

Before you begin creating a custom menu, try to think about how menus
work on the DVD/Blu-ray movies you purchase. Often you'll have a main
page with several options that let you jump to other pages that feature
chapters or bonus features.
If you plan to have more than one page in your menus, don't forget that
your viewer will need to be able to navigate back and forth through the
pages by selecting images or text within the menu.
Go into a multi-page menu with a plan. Decide which page is going to act
as your main menu screen and make sure that every other page gives a link
back to it. Be careful about how you link your menu pages together. A
dead end page, which means one that you can’t get away from once it’s
chosen, is going to frustrate your audience.
