Webpages

As the third part of our project, we need to create a webpage for our film. I have looked at the webpages for films in the same genre.

Kidulthood (2006)

http://www.tuftweb.com/kidulthood/




This is the homepage of the webpage for Kidulthood, an important film in the teen-drama genre. It is mainly comprised of a large e-poster promoting the DVD release of the film, but at the bottom are tabs such as 'About Kidulthood,' 'Press,' 'Soundtrack' and 'Forum', giving fans of the film a chance to interact with one another and critics of the film a place to post their opinions as well as giving the fans the chance to download songs they heard on the soundtrack. The element of the interactive would make the website attractive to teens, who are the main target audience of the film.

Cherrybomb (2010)

http://www.cherrybombmovie.net/

The homepage for the film Cherrybomb is slightly more basic, probably due to the film being more low budget. However, what is has that the Kidulthood page doesn't is links to social networking websites Facebook and Twitter, allowing teens to connect with the film and share information about it with their friends easily. I think this is a good idea, and one we should utilise on our webpage.


Fish Tank (2009)

http://www.fishtankmovie.com/

The homepage for Fish Tank has both links to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter (as the Cherrybomb site has) and tabs with information 'About The Film', 'DVD Release' and so on (as the Kidulthood page has). This, in my mind, is ideal- when we create our webpage we would want to combine information about the film with links to other sites so that fans can share our information with others.
