Websites
Websites are created to advertise the movie that they are based upon, they all do this in similar ways as the research i have don't shows us. Each website all use cover pages, these help navigate round the website.
You can see both of these are similar, the one on the left has a video background if you go on the direct web page, with the navigation in the top right corner, the one on the left, has a poster back ground, with the navigation in the centre.
They all share information on the film such as the synopsis, which they all give a brief outline of the plot, and the characters with the actors names also. If you see an actor you like, you tend to watch there movies. Also if you like the synopsis, then you would also watch the movie.
Then they all offer images, which is kind of like a 'sneak peak' of the movie, the reason for this is that they need to get across small aspects of the movie so you can try and paint a picture in your head, when you do this,you want to see if your right, and if the picture you paint is a good one, you believe the movie will be enjoyable for you.
Each website also has the trailer on it, which is the main part, because a trailer is the main advertisement for a movie, for example, its on YouTube, Television,Web pages and other online video services.
The majority of websites also tend to offer downloads, these are usually things such as posters and soundtracks from the movie, or sometimes merchandise like T-Shirts which are like walking advertisement, because people who buy these clothes walk round in them and it can cause a knock on affect, and people say it from the movie. The posters are often used on people's wall, which when they have friends over, they can talk about it, and watch the movie.
Websites also like you to enter you email, which is handy for the website because lots and lots of people have an email and you can always be updated about the movies, and offers, and even if another one is coming out.
