Poster Design

This is one of my ideas for the poster to go with our trailer, not very happy with the outcome but if I changed some things around it would look better and more effective. The white background makes it look to plain and simple and there are not enough connotations of horror within the poster.

Website Analysis

After analysing two websites it has shown me what Ben, Charlotte and I need to do to create our website for our film. Both the WebPages have another button to enter the main website with a starting page. There are more options to do with the film on the website and there is always an option to see the trailer for the film. They both had the picture from their poster on their website as well as other images to do with the film and to give off the overall impression of what their film is about both websites had red and black in them and followed the connotations of horror. However one was plain and the other was busy and full, both with their own effect over the audience.

Website Analysis

The orphan website is plain yet effective as the details in it make it more interesting than it would be if there was no horrific details that still make it look scary. I clicked on ‘Enter Site’ button.

After clicking on this it took me to another page with loads of family pictures in frames which shows that the film is about the family of the girl in the main image as well as her herself. It moves sideways through all the images all in black picture frames on a black work top. The backgrounds main colour is black still with the contrasting red title. There are more options at the top of the website giving the audience options to look at photos, special features and download the film.

Website Analysis

After looking at this webpage, it showed me that the main reason for it is to promote not only the film but also the DVD’s and products produced by the film. The main colour is black which gives off a frightening, chilling and scary effect, linking to the connotations of horror. The bright reds contrast and the blues make it chilling. The busy page with loads of options shows they have a lot to offer from their film. I then clicked on the ‘Enter Site’ button.

When the site was loading it was a white screen with person in the distance with the impression it was snowing. Once the page had loaded it has a black blood splattered like area with bits of red containing options to find out about the film, cast, filmmakers and options to download the film as well as games. The webpage enabled the person viewing to pan around the setting using their mouse to move across. When the night time setting kicked in the screen dripped into black night time and lights came on in the villages. This gives a great effect of being able to be part of the film and see it without watching the film. It gives an idea of what the film is about. Whilst looking around the setting there were options to view the trailer and click on characters to find out more about them. This makes the website far more interesting and exciting to look at drawing the audience into the film.
