WEBSITE: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


The typography on the website is iconic to the films "IT ALL ENDS HERE". The title has been shortend to HP7, in a grey colour as the movie has become dark and for an older audience than the first film.

The fire in Hogwarts is animated along with the smoke which makes the website feel more realistic and draws in the audience as they have carefully designed it to fit with the film.

At the bottom of the page you have to hover for credits as they have been hidden from the first glance so you can focus on the picture of burning Hogwarts and the reflection in the lake.

The facebook and twitter icons are also at the bottom of the website page showing that is relation to a modern and wider audience.

WEBSITE: The Killer Inside Me

The thing I find particularly interesting about this website is the animation featured - the smoke from Lou Ford's cigar chugs and swirls about the screen ominously. The site is easily navigatable, I also think it's interesting the way they've created a Twitter account for the main character himself, as if he were a real person, and I think it's an effective but understated website. I wouldn't say the genre was particularly clear but having the darkness surrounding the character, dimming into the corners and then these flashes of bright colour as if everything is flying past while he is calmly sat smoking his cigar, definately adds an eerie and psychological edge and is certainly intriguing. I think it's simplicity and vagueness are what make it so effective and you can after all, see the name of the film and it's director very clearly, as well as all other links.

WEBSITE: Case 39
















This is the simplistic website for the new horror film 'Case 39'. This website has a very simplistic design, similar to one we would make if we were to make a website ourselves.
The trailer appears as soon as one enters the site and the title is clear and glowing. Also the links are simplistic and clear at the bottom of the page using only key words and logos. The actors are also a pull for the film as they are one of the main focus' apart from the title.

WEBSITE: Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps

http://www.wallstreetmoneyneversleeps.com/

A great website in which the movie trailer itself is intergrated behind the features for the website, forcing the viewer to watch the trailer subconciously.
