WEBSITE RESEARCH I N T R O D U C T I O N

I am now going to analyse film websites, leaving promotional websites for last. This research will aid me in both information and inspiration when it comes to creating my own website.

LIFE OF PI OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Life of Pi uses large, full-screen images and embedded videos making the most of the incredible visuals from the film. It has a simple layout which is easy to use, and clearly structured. The integrated social media apps and buttons allow the user to share and interact with the film, creating a user-promotion for the film.

THE SIGNAL FOCUS FEATURES WEBSITE

The Signal uses a palette of white and black to carry a continuous theme throughout the website. The layout is much like a blog, with social links, posts and different tabs that explore elements like Story, Cast & Crew and News. The trailer is centred on the homepage which instantly leads the users to the promotional element for the film.

BIRDMAN ALTERNATE WEBSITE

The Birdman website is an interactive java website, with really interesting elements. To get to the main body of the website you first view an adaptive section of text, a fantastic user interactive feature, which leads into an ambiguous page with a burning meteor. This can then expand into a page of various videos, images and sounds, or to the official movie website on the distributors website.
