Website Construction


This is the homepage of our website for our movie. We decided to put the title at the bottom of the screen, to subvert the convention of always having it at the top. We used the same typography as the one used in our trailer, and it is white to stand out against the bright colours of our background.





The images in the background are the main focus of the website and some are shots from our trailer while others have been filmed separately.


The theme of drugs and a wild lifestyle is prevalent in the background and gives clues to what the film's storyline is, without giving the entire plot away. The main colour is red, but we also have one shot from the party scene, which is lighted all different colours due to the strobe lighting.

The ratings and comments on the film appear one by one in the corner of the page, next to the title. We also considered putting them all up at the same time, but we felt it would take up too much space and we wanted the audience to focus on the footage. We have included links to social media sites and also other pages of the website but these are also quite minimally designed for the same reason. 

In order to have enough space to include the trailer, the title, the ratings and other features, we framed the shots for the background predominantly on the left. The title and the video are on the right and take up quite a lot of space.

For the ratings, we have used gold text but the same font as the title. We wanted a colour different to the title but would still stand out, and gold connotes success and achievement.
