Homework 2 : Analyse and printscreen 3 webpages similar to your website you'll be creating...finish with a detailed portfolio.
Ive chosen the official website for the movie 'Jennifers Body' as it is a rescent teen horror film, which is similar to our genre. http://www.jennifersbody.co.uk/
1st Webpage: About
The first page i chose from the menu is the 'about' section, this is where the storyline is written giving details and spoilers about the movie. The background of the page follows the horror genre theme with the conventional colours red for the writing and splatters of blood, this suggests how the movie may have some gruesome scenes to do with blood. A large image of a long-shot of the main actress is on the right side as she may be used for promotional techniques and to compliment the movie. The clothing and typography all suggest a younger target audience as it is very young and high-school like, almost like a students typical hand-writing. These all show how the movie may be school-based and alot of teen elements are included.There are conventional links to facebook groups and links to purchase the movie as these icons are easily identified for young generation as it is very common. Under the menu you are given different tabs to navigate a section of the website to make it easier for the public to browse and remember what section they are on. They have also written release dates to inform the audiences. Everything they have used is for a purpose and fits in with their horror/teen genre.

2nd Webpage: Photos
The second page i chose was the gallery, this is where photos are shown from throughout the movie of all characters and important incidents, this gives the audience more to look at and fans of the actors played in the movie may also enjoy this. The background is same from the homepage and every other page but the image of megan fox is different, this time she is posing on a chair on the bottom left of the screen. The gallery shows little faded icons of the images to make it easier for the audience to find the pictures that they would most like to enlarge instead of scanning through all the pictures. There is also a music icon on the top right, music is initially playing however you are given the option to mute it. Their slogan may be 'Take her home' as it is on every page also, it refers to megan fox and shows her importance in the movie as her images are on every page. There is also a link to watch the trailer which was also positioned differently on the about page. Everything else remains the same to mak it less confusing and easier to manage.

3rd Webpage: Videos
The third page i chose is the videos page, these are some of the three pages that i thought would be better to research as im thinking of doing these pages for my website. This page shows the trailer of the movie, unfortunately there isn't any other videos available to see. The promotional links and background scheme remains the same. The image of Megan Fox, yet again changes and now she is seated on the left corner, she has blood dripping out of her mouth which compliments her role in the movie and adds to the theme. The slogan is now placed on the bottom under the trailer. Everything is quite clear and easy to use.

Also... all the pages had credits and logos at the bottom (as shown below) which i was unable to show in the other printscreens,its a list of acknowledgements of those who contributed to the creation of a film . This shows their value and promotes them as well as showing their appreciation through publicising them in the site. Ive noticed how this is commonly shown throughout many sites.
