paranormal Activity Website

• The layout for this website is a lot like the poster for this film, though there is slightly more to look at than the poster
• The title is large and put across the top of the page, which really grabs your eye
• They have links on this page that will redirect you to buy the tickets from a cinema near you, useful but I feel takes up too much of the page
• They stated that there is a free download of the previous film that goes with the sequel, but only if you buy the tickets - this will boost sales as they are boasting a free download that will be worth the price of the film
• They have links to Facebook and Twitter, social networking sites, enabling visitors of the site to share the page with friends
• This is only the start of the website as it reads ‘click here to continue to site’
• The website and the poster may be the first thing a viewer sees so the they need to make sure that it sets the mood and tone, otherwise no one will want to watch it
• The picture in the background is very eary and hard to work out, but it looks like a child and a dog from a cctv camera, obviously something is with them as they are both starring and there’s a wind-swept effect on the picture

I didn’t like the poster for this film as I thought it look bland and unorganised, but after seeing the web design I feel a little differently about it. The only thing I noticed neither of the poster or website had was an Age certificate, now I know because of viewing the film that it is a 15, but given that it is now out in the cinemas it should actually have the age restriction printed clearly. I like the fact you can share this page with social networking sites, I know a lot of websites do, do this now, but it just shows it is reaching out to an expanded audience. The colouring on this website links with the colours used on the poster, therefore there is specific uniform of colouring used. Like I said with the poster the colours they have used don’t symbolise happiness or anything bright and playful, it is very bleak and symbolic towards death, and maybe the devil. The narrative is only shown through the colouring and the picture, they haven’t used any quotes or lines that will hint otherwise about the film, leaving you no other clues as to what you are letting yourself in for.
