Analysis - Movie Website

For a film website I decided to analyse The Amazing Spider Man Website. I believe that this good Film Website. The reason for this is that when you first enter the Website on the side hand part of the page it has the characters and their names. This is good because for example if someone new wanted to get to know about the film the first thing they are going to see is the characters which is already giving them knowledge towards the film without happening to need to even click on anything yet. There is also a clear and eye catching picture of the main character which is spider man in the middle of the page which elaborates to the audience who the main character is.

What is also good about the film website is the navigation bar which gives the audience all the parts of the website that they would need to explore which is also a much more less time consuming way and more efficient way of exploring the page

One the great parts to the website is that there is a part in which it explains the story. This is great because for people that know nothing about the film what so ever this would be the best way for them to learn about the film and therefore find out if the film is appealing towards them or not

One of the problems with this movie website is that in terms of context on the first page is that it is very minimal so this makes the page not look appealing to some and may look boring because they may not understand why there is just one Spider man just in the middle of the page if they have never watched the film before.

Film Consumption

I do tend to go to the cinema quite frequently and i believe this is because when a new film has just been released I would rather just watch the movie on the release day and way clearer and so that I actually get the feel of the movie rather than watching it cheaply.

A film on demand service that I have is Netflix and Amazon Prime and this is paid for monthly and I pay for these because it is movies quickly and on demand as well as their is a greater range of movies that on these on demand applications.

I don’t really tend to download films and this because I am the type of person in which when I have watched a movie once I don’t feel the need to watch it again anytime soon so it would be pointless for me to download the films because it wouldn't be watched again. Another reason is because it is too time consuming as well as there is too many risks and consequences to downloading which I am not willing to take.

The last DVD that I had owned was X-Men in 2014 and this was not purchased this was given to me when I had purchased a Game in HMV they was giving out free DVD’s which each purchase over £40 but the DVD has not been opened because I am not a fan of DVD’s

Some of the last films that I had watched in the cinema was the latest X-Men, 22 Jump Street and Fast and Furious 6 as these were the latest films and all interested me when the film was coming out in cinemas.

The majority of films that I watch are convergence devices, films that I watch on convergence would usually be through my PS4.

Analysis - Think Like A Man Too

I believe that films target audience is Rom Com fans. This is the films target audience because the actual genre of the film is Rom Com therefore the movie makers would want to make all the marketing towards the fan base of these films and this is because this is where they would be generating their profit from also it wouldn’t make sense for a movie which is a Rom Com to be targeting Thriller Fans and this is because if they was to do this the thriller fans would not be entertained with the film because it would not be their forte.

 Within this trailer the stars names are given to us and this is because it is way of getting our attention and wanting to watch the film, for example “Kevin Hart” name came up on trailer and this is because Kevin Hart is a big name actor so therefore when people are watching the trailer they are going to recognise the actor which would therefore influence their decision into watching the film, it also attracts fan bases towards the movie because for example Kevin hart fans would want to watch the film just because they are big fans of Kevin Hart.

In this trailer there was a big voice over and the voice over was done by the main character of the movie which is Kevin Hart and what he is doing is basically explaining everything that is going on within the movie and explaining the most important parts of the film and as he is the most important character of the film this is another way of showing the audience that this big actor is taking part within this film.

 Another big part towards the trailer was that the shots that were used the used; there was an establishing shot that was used which was basically promoting a stripper joint and this therefore means that the stripper joint would need to have paid a lot of money into the film even just to have that little shot in the movie which is an advertising technique as well as a way of making money for the production of the film because of the invest the companies would have had to make.

 From the mise-en-scene of the trailer we could tell that they were quite wealthy people and this is because of various examples, one of these examples was that one of the cast members was driving a Ferrari and this is an expensive car in which mainly wealthy people drive therefore suggesting to the audience that he is a wealthy character. Another way in which this was done was because they were all playing poker in a casino and gambolling high sums of money which tells that the people in the film could be considered as wealthy.

 Yes i think that the film does have a unique selling point and this is due to the fact that the famous artists Kevin Hart and Meagan Good were both in the film and the effect of this is that because once people hear names as big as them in films it would therefore attar t the audience giving the film a unique selling point
