Ancillary Task: Website Research

Previous Experience/Current Ideas

From my last year of Media I created a website for my Noir opening using wix.com. Although this isn't the most detailed and intricate web designer I will only need what wix.com has available to make my website up to the standard of creating it for a teaser trailer. I will be analyzing different movie websites and seeing what similarities and uniqueness they have to offer.

Jason Borne - Website

Slide 1: When you load up the website you are given a relay of clips being played from the films and options above going to different parts of the film. I was planing to also include clips in my website but they couldn't just be from my teaser trailer otherwise I would be repeating a small amount of clips too much.
Slide 2: When you clicked on "Gallery" is gave you some behind the scenes shots and still from the films. I would just use some pictures from different times when I film, or use stills from my trailer as long as they aren't blurry.
Slide 3: The website only includes two posters but since most of the posters are identical with either; Matt Damon's face with "You Know His Name" across is. Or him standing back to back with the woman with just "Jason Borne" across with only the release date and Matt Damon's name giving very little info, assuming everyone will know this film
Slide 4: The last part of the website is a brief outline of the story, so if someone knew nothing about the franchise, wants to decide if they want to see the film in the cinema or not. It also helps having a general overview of the film so you understand it more

A Good Day to Die Hard - Website

I can only have one screenshot for the Die hard website, this is due to the only buttons/links working on the side is the "Cast & Crew" button. This could be because the films ins't a new film so the previous links don't work since it isn't featured anymore, or the website just decided to remove all the links but leave the website running so no one else could claim the URL. What I might take from this website is the possibility of having a scrolling lift of links, but i'm very uncertain wix.com will have the coding I need to include this in my website.

Jurassic World - Website

Jurassic World the film doesn't have any relevance to my film, because I will be running from people not dinosaurs, but the website is amazing! It was set up as if Jurassic World really existed and has a few features that I would like to include. The main one would be Slide 5, when you click on "Buy Now" where it says the tickets are open it takes you to amazon where you can buy Jurassic merchandise. I would like to be able to create a link which takes you to fake merchandise to buy. Overall I mainly included this website for variety and inspiration, rather than anything to go off sicne I can't create a website on this level of expertise.

Ancillary Task: Poster Research

Previous Experience/Current Ideas

Previously I have created posters for graphics during my GCSE's for my products. but this was a few years ago so I may need to refresh my memory. My first ideas were that I would have a backdrop of a nice/open scenery, with my main character running across or a picture of him mid action shot. Making the poster should be fairly easy, the biggest problem I will face is getting a good action shot to include which isn't blurry, but I could just make the blur a part of the poster design

Vogue Sugar - Cliches

Audience Feeback

Questionnaire

I made a short questionnaire on the parts of the teaser trailer I was unsure about, such as the length and how much I should reveal. I also collected the ages of people so that I know what age groups I will be targeting or trying to appeal to

Graph 1

The people who filled out my questionnaire were mainly over the age of 26. But since I still have a large 11-18 year old audience I will be aiming to target them since that was the age group I started with

Graph 2

I was expecting people to say around a minute, but the replies I got show that the most popular opinion is 20-40 seconds as well as being around a minute. Making the teaser trailer longer and shorter both have positives and negatives about them

Graph 3

It was a landslide vote for "Give a brief outline" which suits my story quite well, since Jake will be running from 'people' to 'someone' with 'something' which would be an enigma, but revealed when the film is actually released. I'm still wondering if I will include a flashback to when Jake and Chris were younger, the problem would be getting kids to play these roles

Graph 4

With number 4 my question was loosely based on how I would achieve the flashbacks, be it making my character younger making me change appearance/actors, and if not necessary I would try and avoid them
