Drafts 2

On this draft I decided to change the title and rating arround, I think that this changes the focus of the poster.

Alex: Website plan 1 is interesting, I like the idea of the clock face however the lack of text makes it look bland.
Website plan 2 looks very empty, there is not a lot too it and it is very simplistic and boring.
Website plan 3 is interesting and has a wide variety of image and text. However I think it would look better if the title of the film was at the top of the webpage ratehr than the bottom.
Website plan 4 Looks too much like a document, i do not think the big block of red are effective and it doesn’t look very dynamic. However I like the social media buttons, they look grainy and aged, this adds a contrast as Facebook and twitter are fairly new technologies.

Website research

I did some research on websites for horror films to see how they were different from other forms of advertisement and also why people whould choose to use it. Common features of a webpage for a film are similar to that of a poster, they both usually have a billing box, include the film rating, the film title and are in a similar style/include some of the same images as the film trailer to create a 'house style'. However a webpage also includes things like social media buttons, trailer links and a summary of the film. Below are some of the webpages I looked at.

This is the website for the film 'Dark Skies'. ( http://darkskiesfilm.com/ ) 'Dark Skies' is a horror/sci-fi thriller about a familie who witness an increasing number of supernatural disturbances in their home. The website has alot of empty space and no main image, only text, this makes the composition seem

 simple and also doesnt reveal the plot. There are also socila media buttons on this webpage, htis allows people to 'like' and share the page which can promote discuttion and advertise the film further.

This website is for the 'saw' franchise. ( http://www.officialsaw.com/ ) It includes information about all 6 films in the saga and is more dynamic than most other film websites,
