THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE-WEBSITE
The human centipede is a film about a man who want to create a creature, involving 3 humans, this film was a world wide conversation piece when it was first on market, it was released in Britain after a few months because of the demands we put on it. The film is very graphic and very horrible as you follow 3 peoples journey into surgically being joined together to become 'the human centipede'.
At the top right corner of each page, you can see the Logo for social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, the reason for this is to maximize advertising.
The first thing you see when you open the website is the films poster as the background, you see the words 'thier flesh is his fantasy'. It looks easy to lay out and you can understand the layout and where you can find what you are looking for, the text is also very clear, easy to read and fits in with the theme of the website, there isn't really a colour theme as the poster runs throughout. It gives you the opportunity to watch the second movie too.
The gallery has a few select pictures from the film itself, and they are all very close up and graphic, which makes you feel uncomfortable when looking at them. By adding images to your website, if a person has not yet seen the film, these images would make you want to watch it. (you have to click on the images to enlarge them)
The trailer i used and played on Flash player, it looks a little small, however you can click the full screen button.
On the download page, it doesn't give you much to download apart from 3 posters, i think that they should offer alot more downloads because it would give the film more popularity, and people would have more fun with it, so you can advertise different aspects of the film such as 'a toy/ Apps/Soundtracks' which will promote the film more so.
The store sells the DVD itself and a T-Shirt, i think the T-Shirt idea is brilliant, you are a walking advert without people knowing they are advertising you, which is a major asset. The film only released 4000 copies, which in reality, is very very little.
popularity, because the newsletter can be shared.
Screenings lists, this is where they tell you when and where the films will be showed. This is handy because its easy to find and makes the website have more variety.
Overall i think the Website is very well laid out and easy to understand, i think if it had a little more variation and more Horror stereotypes, it would have it made it more interesting, i know that you want to move away from stereotypes, but its not very exciting.
