Ancillary Task Production - Website Homepage 2nd Draft & Improvements

2nd Draft 

In my previous post, I received audience feedback on my first draft of my website homepage. I took on board the comments I was given and spent a lot of time learning my way around the site even more so I had a more advanced understanding of what I was able to do with my design. This extra time I spent exploring, allowed me to discover so many other design elements that I could use.

I took my target audiences advice on reconsidering the placement on the page and rearranged it all to give it an organised, clean look and feel. Again, I used the white box as a template to show where my trailer will be embedded on the website. I used this a the focus point as obviously the site is acting as further promotion for my film trailer and so I wanted to make the trailer the main object on the screen and fit everything else around it.

From my research, I saw that some websites had reviews from magazines and newspapers. I thought I would add this element to my website as positive views reinforce the idea that the film is worth going to see and therefore the reviews I used would build up a positive influence on potential viewers if it were a real working website for a film. Overall I believe the reviews give it a realistic look.

Consequently, I kept the main colours white and red for the text. I kept these 2 main colours rather than using a large variety of different ones because I wanted to maintain the continuity throughout the page. The white and red stand out well on the black background and makes every element stand out and draw attention.
