THE RING
- Montage introducing the website makes it more eerie and fits the genre of horror as the images are distorted and subvert to its stereotype of being technological and keeps related to that theme. The images also reflect what the movie is about.
- The sound clips used when you hover the cursor over the icons for navigation are really effective in making the website different to others as the sound clips all differ from each other and subvert to the stereotype of horror with the sounds of distortion playing and may come to surprise, adding to the fear and tension it hopes the producers hoped to create.
- The colours used are typical for a horror genre: black, white and red. This conforms to the traditional side of horror even though the concept of the film is very modern, so it could show how even though it IS a different concept, it holds onto the roots of horror still.
- The syringe labelled “the tape” defines it as a definite article enforcing the idea that there is a possibility that it could be real.
- The website is quite easy to navigate with clear buttons and links to go to but personally I found that at times the site could be quite confusing especially when watching the trailer as there is a list of settings that the viewer may not know about.
- The thing I found most intriguing with this website for the fans were the abstract images leading to gags such as the piece of rope used as an icon labelled in Japanese. The whole point of this was to make the viewer answer and be interested as to what would eventually pop up once completing answering a set of questions. This to me heightened the fear but also kept me intrigued hence wanting to see more of what other gags the website had to offer.
- At the bottom of the introductory page the site has made sure to include that the film was made by Dream Works and this could encourage the audience that haven’t already seen the film that it is of good quality and has been produced by one of the major film companies.
