As you can see from this screen shot.







Jurassic World website








This has a very focal emphasis on the countdown to the next movie. The menu along the top has a gallery, cast and plot section, merchandise, a social wall, trailers and a ‘sign up’ option. Down the right hand side there is a section about the release date and a synopsis. At the bottom of the Home page there is: contact; about; advertise; and FAQs.



Star Trek  (www.startrek.com)


This is a very big website with many interactive features. It has a database, ‘Watch’ section, games, News, a section of artwork from fans around the world, an Events and exhibitions section, a Podcast, social media icons and a ‘Login’ option. There is also a Shop. One of the most interesting interactive features was the ‘Poll’ about who fans consider to be the most ‘confident’ Captain ever. It turned out to be Captain Kirk. The world famous Star Trek conventions and their dates and locations are also featured. The conventions give fans the chance to meet the stars. This is the only film website I found so far that features a Podcast and I would like to incorporate this in to my own film website. .






Wonder Woman


This has a very stylish home page. The menu includes information about the characters, comics, a follow option, storyline, reviews, and there are social media icons. There are also trailers and the trailer appears as soon as you load the website. There is also an option to listen to the soundtrack.















Insidious 4


The home page of this takes you directly to a list of cinemas where this can be seen near you (with GPS navigation). On the homepage menus there is a gallery, a ticket booking option, social media icons, a trailer (which also plays behind the synopsis). I liked this website because of the moving images which really give you a taste of the film and the trailer makes me want to see this film.



Fast and Furious 8  (www.fast8movie.co.uk)



The Homepage displays boxes that are headlined by ‘Explore the Fast and Furious Franchise,’ and each box takes you in to a different film. There are social media icons on the top right side and also a large box with moving images which take you into different options such as a tickets section, an interactive section and information about the film. There are buttons which allow you to pre-order the film and a trailer button.  





The Hobbit  (www.thehobbit.com)


The homepage is very stylish with changing scenes from the movie. The menu is down the left side and has: story synopsis, cast information, a section about the film makers, videos, a gallery of photos, downloads and the soundtrack. Along the lower part of the homepage there are three boxes. One has a scene from the movie, one has a game, and the third one offers the chance to customise various ‘wallpapers’ for your desktop, your mobile phone, Facebook covers and profile images. The box opens to show some of the wallpapers and has a ‘Get Started’ button. There is also a ‘Buy Now’ button for buying the film, and you can download a choice of posters.


This was my favourite film website out of all the websites I looked at because it is so user friendly and interesting with its inactive features and free downloads.




My Website planning


During my website research I found a very diverse range of designs and formats. Most of the websites had the social media buttons and interactive features. Some of them had more interesting items than others because some had a lot of information which fans would like to read. In my opinion, being able to read the synopsis of the film is an important feature as is the gallery feature. Trailers are important too and I felt that the websites that had the trailer appearing instantly on the homepage were some of the best because this was a very good way to promote the film from the start.
For my own website there are several features that I would consider important and promotional tools. I liked the idea of ‘wallpapers’ that could be used for devices and computer home screens, and the idea of posters is an idea that I would also like to use for my website as this could be shared to social media. I would include a ‘games’ button and also boxes that give scenes from my film. I would include in my menu a ‘forum’ for people to discuss my film and this would be linked to social media sites.


I would have my menu along the top of the website as a line of options as most of the film websites I researched had their menus displayed this way. It is simple and quick to read. I would have the soundtrack as part of that menu.  I would also have a ‘Download’ button so that people can download the film and share it.


Another feature I would like to include would be a free App for devices.  I did not find this  out though research , this was an Idea i came up with myself as i know from experience that apps can very  useful to promote  and share websites.
