Green Zone movie website

http://www.greenzonemovie.com/

Now Green zone has a very clever site. On arrival to the page, you are welcomed by a welcome page, a page.


The clever people among you will notice, that I had to some considerable zooming out to give more of an idea of what treasures this website beholds. Its different to a normal welcome page you normally get on websites, in the fact it has a whole load of content on it.. Basically all the content on the separate pages put into one, so for lazy people who don't like clicking on links, they can view it all on one page... Clever.

The page uses an action shot background in the top half of the screen, with the protagonist character on the left and 3 smaller seperate action shots on the right, split up with the information.

Heading the page it has the attention grabbing text, the name of the film, the famous world known films previously directed by the director - connoting to the audience that the film will be good, further backed up by detailing the award winning actor in the film.

The link bar then has links for the photo gallery, synopsis, cast, product features and a link to enter the site.. Not that you need to enter it to get any more content.

As like many other film websites it tries its hard sells on the audience, with the trailer in the middle and telling them all about the discs that they can buy, so that they can watch it at home!.. Yay.

Then it goes about and has all the content from the website, in there only little compartments with a different background image behind each one. Fancy.

On apparently clicking on the button to enter the site..
after some loading site nonsense.

You get to the main sites homepage, which is just a fancy flash version really. In keeping with the synoposis of the film, the viewer is presented with a green radar map, where the user can choose where they want to go on the site... Ohhh interactive!.. They clearly have money to burn. Good colour co-ordination skills though!..

So far what I have been finding out from researching websites, are that they are all fancy, and interactive, made using lots of different programming languages, like flash and JavaScript, I for one can't code in them.. I can do HTML and supposedly I can programme in php.. But Im sure My computing teacher will tell you that Im not very good at it!!

Actions movie websites, tend to use little array of colours.. they stick with a certain number of colours.. round about 5.

But I have learnt how the websites are layed out and how they have a relevant background image, and how the centre of attention is on the trailer and buying the dvd/ Blu Ray...

Having text but pictures too.. because no one likes to read a busy website!..

Reporting for duty, actually wait I've already reported for duty.. MS
