Website analysis: Shutter Island


Website analysis

The website starts by playing a trailer on the top right to promote their movie and show multi-media convergence by following to promote their DVD underneath and the synergy of having special content on the DVD. Furthermore there is a Facebook link at the bottom center of the page. Also several social media bottom left.
They use a misty blue around the island which can connote to a mysterious, isolated location to give that sacred haunted feeling. The mist is animated with the lighthouse going round to heighten the effects of the spooky island.
The lead actor is centrally framed with only a face shot and a pulse effect.
The release date below the masthead is red which is a strong colour and draws the audience in. The colour could also signify danger.
The copyright information is in the bottom right.


In our film if we were making a website I think the use of colour would be a good format to include. The deep saturated colours and a red text to highlight and catch the audience’s attention of whatever they really want to promote. Adding some sort of effect would be a good choice and having the main soundtrack on the page would synergise with an album. Furthermore showing the trailer on the website will promote our film even more and would deliver a sense of information on the movie before even clicking on any other subject matters. The only problem I see is that I feel that the actor’s names should at least be more advertised. I know they promote there star market but this could have been a debut for a new star or the co-star.
