Unit 7

I researched into existing movie websites, and the codes and conventions they have. I researched into ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ website and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle website. I chose to do some of the same thing in my website but with my own creational twits, such as I had a animated home screen of falling pills, this is similar to Jumanji, this is because it adds a different feeling to my website as it is not that common to see. Like in Maze Runner there gallery layout, I used as a skellington, but added my own twist to it. The only difficulty i encountered was when making the maue bar, linking the correct page to button. I overcame this by asking for peer help. I decided to use the colours i used because they contrast from each other and are nice on the eyes.

I feel like some of my website has kept the same continuity from the film, because of the animated background and modern feeling. On the other hand, it loses some continuity with the fact that the film text font and website text font are different.

My audiences have helped in improving my website, I made a survey asking if and what they liked about my website, what they didn't like and how i could improve my website. What the audience said they like is the animated background, what I could improve on is adding a trailer, and making the title bar bigger and more clear. After getting this feedback I added a trailer to my website, and made my title bar bigger and more clear.

I feel like my website is useful but not fully used to its best potential. This is because it does the job, it tells the audience some additional information. But honestly with the time frame given it’s almost impossible to create a core fan group who will appreciate the website.

Next time i am going to do more research into existing websites, this time i will research all genres but do further research into the genre wich my media project will be in. Furthermore I will make surveys throughout the process, asking what they like and what could be improved, this is because i will them make the best website possible.

I feel like my planning was very useful in making my website, this is because it showed me what are the common occurrences in websites, so i could add them but with my own creative twist.

I found that researching into existing websites was useful as it gave me a idea in what to add to my website.
I didn't do specific website research into Crime Drama websites. This impacted my website because I could have added more to my website witch the Crime Drama genre fans like.

I would conduct more research, this being primary and secondary research into the genres.

I feel like the layout i decided to choose for the website worked very well, i only had positive feedback. I had to adapt the website to include options that ‘WIX’ had, because in my initial idea, i found out that some of the things weren't possible on the softwear.

Multi Choice Game

The Walking Dead - Game  The Walking Dead has a interactive storyline which makes the game more fun, this is because the choices you make will verdantly effect you in the future. From small choices such as, "Say hello" or "Ask whats happening" to "Help Duck" or "Help Shaun". This makes the player feel so much more involved into the story line. There are a maximum of four options to choose at one time but can be three or two. Through the interactivity you can grow close to other  characters, or become distant from them.

Applying Media Theorys To My Media Project

1A. Props Character Theory In Alice's story she had some of the characters from  Vladimir Propp's Theory, these being the hero ,the villain, the helper ,the donor and the princess. Alice is represented as the princess and the hero because she doesn't want to drink the alcohol and drinks water: Princess. Because you follow Alice's journey she represents Hero.  in addition Alice informs the other characters they should be in class. Henry is the villain because he spikes her drink with a drug and also Punches her. Callum plays the helper because he comes to the aid of her when she is pushed furthermore he invites Alice to the party this also makes him be the donor. The production does use some of the characters, but on the other hand not all of the character types are used, this is because the crew used, was not big enough to cover all characters. 1B. Todrovo's Theory My story has the same equilibrium/ disruption/ new equilibrium structure that Todrovo outlines
