Details on The Website

On my website I have placed widgets on website which stand out from other websites. My main feature on my website is the 3D section which shows what films are showing in 3D. The photos slide across to the box it is in to reveal what new movies are coming soon. I used this widget as it looked very attractive and I have not seen any other websites use them, so this makes it unique.
Here is a view of the widget:



When I have finished my poster I would like to place this scrolling widget, I would make it stand out so people would click it to view it. Another widget I have used is to show new trailers coming out. They are hyperlinked so when you click a new video it will show the new link of the video. When I finish filming I will add my trailer as the number one film so that you will always be able to see my film, this will draw attraction to my film making people more likely to view the film. Here is a view on what this widget look like:

Another widget I used on my website that it links to many social websites, for example facebook and twitter, I thought of using this on my website as many young people use facebook and twitter and this would help with the advertising of the film and company. Here is what the like widget looks like:

Website design

From looking at the websites I have analysed I see that a lot use hyperlinks to link them to other pages such as other trailers and some websites even have games.

I will take this concept of using hyperlinks into my website as this will give diversity and I won’t have so much information onto one webpage.

Hyperlinks on my page,
as over 500million people use facebook and other social sites I saw this as a good opportunity to get my film trailer onto these social sites, below is a picture of my facebook page for my film company

Starting of the story board

From my brainstorm I thought the ideal film to do would to film a thriller, my reasons for choosing thriller is that I already have filmed a thriller from last year and enjoyed it, and also the thriller industry is very diverse and you can have many genres of thriller.

While thinking of a film, I though why not have taken some ideas from books I have read. I realized when reading the book that using the story line would be ideal for the type of story I would like to base on my film.

I read a book called "Or She Dies"

synopsis of the book:

The American government intrude in to a husband and wife'e life and tries to frame the husband up for a murder. The husband then reacts and unravels a lot more than he can handle with the government.

Starting of the story board

Today i started to come up with ideas and put them into a brainstorm.

Below are some basic ideas I wrote down on paper:

The subheadings are:
Murder
Scifi
Animation
Mystery
Comedy

With the subheadings i put notes on the differnt type of sub genres that could possible go with the genres.

Analysis of Poster research

From my research of in to posters there is a huge variety of different posters from animated posters to the simple posters with just the name of the movie and release date. The probability that I could create a poster using animation is very unlikely. I could create a poster which has a cartoon picture with great details of the movie or a poster with just the release date and name so then people would look more in to the film and become more interested.

I am starting my design now, taking aspect from other posters, for example having the title or the film large and bold to create attention then just under having the release date, or maybe having a complicated poster with the directors’ name, the production company etc.

I will be using convections like lighting to illuminate my pictures from the poster. The font will be standing out, large so that the audience will be attracted to the poster.

I will be experimenting with many different designs of posters and the way the effect the audience attraction to it.

Research into Movie Websites - Paramount Pictures

Paramount Pictures Website has many features, includeing a drop down menu on the left, trailers in the centre and synopsis of trailer below.

The page its self is very pland with a bright colour on the background then a dark outer parts, so your attention is drawn to it which is rather effective.

The sub heading on the left hyperlink to other pages which then show a trailer of the link, also the link at the top go to other pages.

The features I would like to use in a website of my own ar ethe use of hyper links leading to the trailers.

Research into Movie Websites - disney

The Disney web site is a very complicated website as it has many hyperlinks and many "widgets" which means accessories to the page.
At the top of the page it has many hyperlinks to different pages and the name of their company at the top middle of the page which is a good idea as it brings attention to it.
The centre of the page it has a video that is most to date and either side of it has links that are similar to the links at the top, and the video's are linked the video which will either come up in a pop up or another page.
At the bottom of the page it show details of the page for example small print and contact information.



The convections i would use on my website from this webpage would be video which stands out from the page and draws our attention to it and the scrolling pictures at the bottom of the page which draws your attention to it, and it shows you what movies are on.

Reserch in to Thriller Posters- Underworld

This poster is an animated picture of the main character of the movie standing on the edge of what looks like to be the top of the building with the moon behind her, this is rather symbolic as she is a vampire and they arise at night. The poster shows the title of he film and the release date and the website to see more information on.

The good convection on this poster is that the main character is standing above an entire city; the darkness makes her seem really conspicuous. With the full luminous moon behind her brings her forward from the picture elevating her from the poster. I would like to use this convection in my poster.

Reserch in to Thriller Posters- Funny People

"Funny people" is a very simple poster, as the only content is the actors name the title and release date. Also there is the information of past directors and writers who help contributed to the film.
The image is just the three main actors who are involved in the film and they are just grouping up in the poster.

Looking at aspects of poster analysing the text and font, The title attracts your eyes as it is bold and white on Adam Sandler’s black top, then just above it shows that rest of the details of the film, small print, just below as you look at the title you are drawn to the release date just below the title. I think this would be a good convention to copy in my poster

Reserch in to Thriller Posters- Iron Man

The "iron man" poster is a rather advanced poster with the effects used such as the animation used in creation of the poster. The main composition of the poster shows the main character in the background and then slowly descends down from character to character in their roles. At the top of the poster it is written who the main actors are, then on the poster it shows who the characters are by positioning them on the poster. On the bottom of the poster it shows the directors and companies used to make involved in the making of the film.


The picture show Iron Man at the back towering over all of the rest, this represents him as being more important, this also draws your attention to him. The explosion in the bottom just above the title brings your attention to the title. This would be a good unique feature to put on my poster but not as technical.
