Website Analysis

The initial design of the website is quite simplistic but highly interactive and the display is integrated with the film. This integration contributes to the overall professional finish. For example, the iconic, vibrant doors are featured within the  and so the audience will soon recognise these icons as a symbol of the franchise; which will strengthen their marketing campaign. In addition, these distinguishable icons will help to create different styles of posters that may act as a teaser for the audience. The background is completely black, with a small source of light perched in front. Most websites have a white background and so, this website is unusual and instantly impacting. The wall of darkness behind the doors dominates the page, this, combined with the animated smoke a t the bottom, implies that the genre of the film is horror.
 As a result, the display of the website tells the audience the genre of the film and the kind of mood it portrays. At the top the website, there is a bright red banner which stands out against the dark, eerie background where the audience can purchase tickets instantly from a different site. Therefore, the website itself acts as a direct selling tool. The interactive doors are a clever way of showing more information and keeping the thrilling atmosphere. The interactions within these doors are entertaining and enticing; which influences purchases. The franchise has also intergrated with social media websites, this is essentially marketing by the public. The bottom right of the page features a transition of tweets about the new film, the website is encouraging people to 'join the conservation' and talk about the film on twitter. Also, the top left features other social media websites where fans can gain more info or share this website. The social media input on the website creates a new stream of advertisement.
