Once closed there is a large image that changes to different scenes of the film from happy to sad moments. At the bottom there is what is considered a banner with the information including the title.
  • Colour scheme: The main colour scheme is black and gold, these colours are commonly used within the drama genre. However the title and the names of the actors are white separating it from the rest of the text and appear more predominant.
  • Content: There are reviews that change with the images to show a wide range and from different perspectives. In the centre bottom there are reward that the film earned, this has a slow change to introduce different awards. Also in the bottom banner there is a short sentence explaining the context of the film and introducing the idea and plot of the film, this will peak peoples interest as they learn a little more about the genre and film.

Halloween 2: http://halloween2-movie.com/

 

 

 

 

 
  • Genre: This film falls in to the horror genre and would appeal to people who like darker themed films, the audience for this genre are regularly people aged between early teens to early twenties. The genre is identifiable through both the name and the colour scheme.
  • Background: When you first open the site it automatically makes the web browser in to full screen and shows a loading page with the title and numbers increasing to 100 with a black screen. Once finished with loading it opens on to the main website with the trailer automatically playing with a very plane background, some of the details include the distorted image of the killer on the top left.
  • Colour scheme: The colour scheme follows the normal conventions for the horror genre with the use of dark colours, mainly black, and smaller details in white to stand our such as the boarder around the video and the distorted image in the back. The dark presents the darkness presented in the film while the white shows the purity of some colours, usually the victims. The colour of the title was originally white but has been distorted. They have made the title to appear old by making the white look ‘dirty’ while laying the colour of red to convey the blood and further supporting the idea of death.
  • Content: There is very little in context in comparison to The Impossible, the main website only shows the trailer and offers buttons on to different pages that can provide more information. Other than the little information the title of the film is given along the left side.
  • Buttons: This website has more focus on the use of buttons as there is very little information given on the main page. Along the left side there are buttons to take you to different pages. The buttons include about, media, gallery, downloads and more. These buttons are white and are easily located at the top of the page.
  • User friendly: The page is very easy to use, there are easy directions. As the website opens the trailer automatically plays which makes it easier for the user to find and learn more about the film. Not only this there is also sound that plays over the top of the website to help create a dark and mysterious atmosphere, it also gives you the ability to switch of the sound. Some issues that occurred is that you have to have the correct software downloaded to open the page due to the effects that are in place.
