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.

final webpage designs

 these are my final designs for the web page the first uses a similar designs to the poster in the way the images are cross faded this helps to set a house theme but also gives a great mysterious effect.

this image is quite different to the first because it frames the image differently in a more dramatic way i used different effects on the image to see how it would effect the feel of the image it seems to give it a sense of horror which promotes the genre. 

this image also does this but has a more intimate revealing shot which is almost an extreme close up i think i will most likely use the first website because it seems to be more professional and relates to the posters more while these other ones are too altered.

final poster designs

when creating these posters i played around with overlaying photos to create a weird ambiguous fell to cause disturbance this represents my film well and makes it visually interesting. i found that black and white image was much more successful than colour because it portrays feelings of loss and damage and the photo is of the characters unconscious face
















but before i came up with the previous idea i experimented with threshold image trying to get a bold picture but i realised that it has more impact if the face covers the full page rather than the centre however i still think it has some impact.















with this copy it two different threshold images merged together in a similar way to the the first image i found the white background makes the text stand out more and while the image is very graphic i don't think it represents the film well enough.

second draft webpage

 

 

This is the second draft of the website it like the poster draft is just waiting for images so that I can fill the background. I think it will all come together when I add the images and when I do so I will be able to see where and what I need to improve upon, whether I need to take better photos or rearrange the composition.

alternative draft of poster

 

This is just a different layout of how I could set the poster out however I think the other design is more visually interesting.

second poster draft

 

This the second draft of my poster. It is still missing some features such as the main image but this gives an initial view of how it will look. I think it is arranged well the masthead is a good size it displays most of the features needed in a successful film advert it just needs an image mainlybecause that is what hooks the audience onto the film.
