Website research into similar genres


Over the past week I have been looking at movie websites that fit the same genre as our film/trailer, however I have struggled to find movies with good websites that fit into our category. For this reason I have decided to go back to the “Twelve” film. Moreover I found that the website graphically is very good, myself and Mel will take on board these themes and use them when designing our website. It has been carefully targeted towards a younger age, plus by the video content the production company are defiantly trying to target the young girl market like we are and brake throw successfully and gain a wide strong audience. The “home page” layout has a widow affect as if the audience are looking throw into the lives of the actors, this would able greatly to younger girls, I think we will use this design also the website is quite clear and precise and it not to completed for younger audiences, giving them straight away the realse dates for the film and a list of the main actors. 
Consistently as well it has large photos which give a clear out line of the main actors give the audience the opportunity of seeing them close up, which girls appeal to. However I am not so sure about the colour scheme i.e. the red and black background; this makes the website feel the dark and horror like, we are making sure not to make the same mistake, but also not by going the other way by being two pink and girly. But needs to have a grown up feel to it and be mature but not boring. 
Another important aspect is the trailer loading straight away at the start forcing most users to watch it and making them gain interest, we will defiantly use this tool when making our website. Finally it is very less cluttered than other movie websites this could be because the film was a “flop” but I quite like that feel of getting to the point quickly and not messing around, but there is one thing we will have that this one does not and that is having fan chat/forme page, so the audience can talk to each other and knowledge of the film can spread. 



Here is the website link;
