My research findngs

The most recent of research's I have discovered are the general concepts of Movie Websites based upon the Horror/Thriller genre. I have researched so far one mainstream film 'The Grudge', and an independent film called the 'Rose of Death'. I have annotated the images commenting on the features. I also have attached an image of the map of the website showing all the pages.

Through this piece of work I have learnt what things to consider to place in my film website. The marks scheme says a minimum of 6 pages on your website. Looking at the numerous pages on offer I can chose some to integrate into my website, some wouldn't be possible, for example having a games page is out of my reach, as the technology is not available, however something like a word search or an imported game from another website could also work. Looking at the two I can aim to make my website similar, and to a standard in between . The grudge 2's website offers better quality entertainment that makes the website on a whole much more interactive. I however don't have access to this expensive technology that can make a difference aesthetically. I will aim to include as many features that the mainstream website has, but I will have to remember this website is only worth 10marks, in which doesn't require me to create an interactive motion game. There were simple things like rollover buttons and images that the independent films website lacked. On Macromedia Dreamweaver it is easy to do such a thing.

The Pages that I am thinking I will include in my website are:

  • Index Page (entrance page)
  • Home Page
  • Synopsis
  • The Teaser Trailer
  • Photo Gallery
  • Cast
  • Downloads

These ARE NOT DEFINITELY going to be my pages, but these are my rough ideas.

over and out blogger foxtrot ;)
