CLASSWORK: LINKS TO BRITISH FILMS

http://harrypotter.warnerbros.co.uk/site/index.html
This links to the official harry potter website, and in this we have links on the top bar that lead to internal pages such as gallery and posters, but we also have a link to a Warnerbrother's hosted page of the previous Harry Potter films. This could be external as it is not related to the main focus of the site, HBP. As the next film (Deathly Hallows) is released, that will become the priority of the website, whilst HBP would be moved to the 'Previous Years'. The website fits very nicely to the dark and sinister tone of the book/film, and the colour scheme makes the page easier for the eyes. The page is easily accesible and contains a variety of material for the audience to navigate and explore for themselves. This site also includes UGC, in which members of the public can submit 'potions', pictures and videos, along with a plethora of other external materials.

Atonement does not have its own private site like Harry Potter, but shares its site with a huge number of 'working title' films. This means there is only a page on the film, showing key information such as the trailer and cast - but with few pictures. The page is full of advertisments of other films and merchandise, and so this detracts from the film 'Atonement' being as central and pivitol such as the 'Becoming Jane' website.

This site is beautiful - it's animated and feels very nostalgic, which reflects the era of the film. Because of the flash and animation, the site gives an ispiring feeling to the audience. The site itself is very easy to navigate, although quite slow because of the animation. All the pages share smiliar layouts and colour scheme, and the site is littered with images which all suit there purpose of advertising the film 'Becoming Jane' and persuading the audience to look into the film more.
