WEBSITE IDEAS- BLACK SWAN

1. The navigation of the site looks simplistic yet due to the house colours of a traditional white and black match, the site looks quite effective and matches to the element of its genre of a psychological thriller. The navigation system is laid out as the main image on the homepage is which makes the page look 3D and adds more of a special element as to making it stand out in appearance.

2. The changing comments made by critics of the film looks really interesting and catches the eye because it is the only thing on the homepage that 'moves' by itself. This has a double job, as well as looking effective it also informs the browser of the success of the film and is not giving anything away to the viewer if they have not yet watched the film.

3. The main links to the main social networking sites 'Facebook' and 'Twitter' are the best links to have personally because they are the most frequented social networking sites and people will have access to the pages if they have accounts which will gain the film more popularity.

4. The reflecting image of Natalie Portman looks truly amazing and this would be an ideal type of thing to create for our own website. The simplicity of it again makes it even more emotion provoking and the facial expression on the protagonist's face encapsulates the whole theme of the psychological thriller. Because it looks like she is looking into a mirror and sees a lot of reflections of herself, this leaves the homepage open for interpretation as to deciding what the meaning of it actually is. The cleverness of the main image for the website could and I hope be accomplished by our own group.

EXTRAS
When you click on the protagonist, flashing images of a ballerina show up and this is a connotation and denotation of the film. By having the quick flashing images, the website offers something different and I hope we achieve this too.

The lighting coming from the corner of the page makes it look a whole lot more realistic and the browser can perhaps relate to it. As it is flickering, this creates an eerie feel to the whole webpage hence conforming to its genre.
