This is the website for If I Stay. The colour scheme and the image link effectively. The purple colour connotes autumn and in the image the girl is wearing a beanie hat and the boy is wearing a hoodie which shows that it is autumn. These are the only two colours used which makes the website look neat and organised. Even the image has a purple hint filter. The consistency of the colours makes it easy on the eye which I really like and I am thinking about only using two colours for my website.
The image to text ratio is really unbalanced. There is very little text on this website homepage which will attract the audience as there is little that they have to read. The header image of the couple is a two shot which works well because it shows the relationship of the two teens in the movie to attract the target audience of the film. The couple look very happy and in love and people will want to watch this film after they have seen this website to watch their happy relationship. On my website I want to show the two girls looking like they're having fun in a good friendship with each other. I will use an image of them hugging to show their bond.
Using the trailer on the homepage is also very effective as it will be the first thing that new visitors will see so they will immediately watch the trailer.
Again, just like the other two websites, this was also made on Tumblr. This seems to be the best platform for me to make my website as the websites that fit within my genre all use tumblr to appeal to the target audience of the film. Tumblr also allows further promotion of the film by allowing followers to reblog posts to their followers who may not know about the film. This will be good for my film because my film will be an independent film so it’ll be another way to market the film.
The interactivity on the webpage isn’t very good and personally I don’t like the way the tabs open a newpage. The home page and the love you live for pages are both the same which is very disappointing as I was expecting something that can engage the audience in the website further. However, I do like that they have included a lot of GIFs and is a very picture heavy website so there isn't much to have to read.
Overall, I think this is a very simple website and I think they could have done more to make it more interesting and appealing to the target audience. However, I really like the colour scheme they have used and the layout of the website.
