We chose a website with a motif of red, black and white to emulate the pervading colours of the 1984 poster and trailer. Traditionally this triplet of colours is representative of danger and gritty realism which played to the conventions of a dystopian future thriller. In our website research we found these colours were the most commonly used by the film websites that we deconstructed.
To add an element of movement which we found was also a convention, we used a slow motion loop of one of our more striking shots. This shot was the high angle view down spiralling concrete stairs, where Luke, our protagonist, runs downward and out of view, which is where we cut the loop.
We removed sound so that users can view our trailer without conflicting audio.
We also added the navigation headers using a typewriter font in red so that they stand out and can be clearly read by users. The tabs we have created are 'Cast and Crew', 'Video', 'Photo' and 'Downloads'.
We will continue to post as our website design continues to develop.
