final webpage design

 

This is my final webpage design it displays most of the conventions of webpages I have researched that advertise film. I carried the same text and masthead through all of my designs to keep up the theme of the film this connects each product with each other. The menu banner at the top of the page gives all options you would find on an average film website, such as videos and downloads. The links in the red boxes featured on the right and left of the page provide direct routes for the audience to other related websites such as YouTube, ticket providers and a competition about the film, these links are big and bold which grab the audience’s attention as soon as they enter the website getting them to go straight to the trailers YouTube channel. The image I used is of the unconscious character after being knocked out by the villain of the film. I used to images to make it look like it was changing form image to image which most websites do but because I was creating this in Photoshop this was impossible to make it actually happen. Using a quote from another media text about the film  tells the audience that another established company has recognised it as a good film therefore promoting the film. The links to social networks in the top right-hand corner shows that the film is available through other apps considering about 10% of the world are on Facebook and about 20% of the world access on platform of social networks this allows the website to reach a larger audience.

final poster design

This will be the final poster design for my film this is effective because the extreme close-up view engages the audience and connects them to the character. The title uses a strong dominant font which moves you towards the other details on the image. This image while being weird and shocking captures the feel of the dark dangerous themes in horror/thriller genres. The colour of the text makes it easier to read while catching your attention at the same time. Displaying the tag line and release date at the top of the screen makes it easier for the audience to find out when the film will be released and stops the audience losing their attention when looking at it because they can head straight to the top of the page. This also helps to get the tag line stuck in their minds because they will relate reading it with reading the release date. I chose to make the image in greyscale because I found it more dramatic and engaging it also adds a simple but effective quality to it.
