Website Deconstruction; Fish Tank.




In the top right hand corner of the webpage the film title is displayed. It looks like it is written on a poster that has ripped edges and has been stuck on her wall, this could represent Mia as young teenage girls are known for having posters stuck on their walls. Having the title written in blue contrasts with the pink background and makes it stand out to the audience. It also stands out as it is written in capital letters and is in the top left hand of the page which immediately draws the audiences attention to it. The date is written underneath in a colour that also contrasts against the pink back ground and the ‘25 JANUARY’ has also been highlighted bold. The white piece of paper that has been paper clipped to the poster represents all the things on it being important and things to remember, it contains links to bebo, twitter, myspace and facebook. Having links to social websites allows fans to follow the film and its characters. It has a little black tab underneath with a link to turn the music on or off, the music is a song from the film which is repeated when Mia is dancing, running or getting into trouble. It has two links at the top which allows you to join up to receiving news about the film and Mia, this is good for the audience as fans can receive news about new films etc and tell people about it which could increase popularity and the number of followers. If you click on the big ‘FISH TANK’ it is a link to a page which tells you about the film and reviews from the artificial eye.

The background of the website is a key shot from the film of Mia looking out the window, it shows the character in great depth and makes the audience think about what is on her mind. In the bottom left of the webpage it has the trailer, this allows the audience to watch the trailer as many times as they want and it may gain popularity for the film. It has an option to close the trailer if people don’t want to watch it, it then appears as a tab next to the music one. This webpage has scroll bars at the bottom and left of the page, I found this unusual for a website as they normally contain links to pages instead of fitting it all onto one page.
At the top of the page it has links to different pages about the film. This is a good thing as it allows the audience to research different areas of the film. ‘About the film’ this tab is good as it allows the audience to find out about the film and if they want to see it. ‘DVD’ this allows the audience to see a picture of what the DVD looks like and it tells you what date it is out on and the special features the DVD has, it also tells you where you can order it from. ‘MEDIA’ this contains two different trailers and a gallery of images from the film. Each different link at the top has a different back ground, but they are all key shots from the film. When you clink on ‘PRESS’ it opens another webpage which allows you to read different reviews from the audience, magazines and books. It is good for the audience to see the reviews as it could encourage more people to watch it. ‘CINEMAS’ allows you to see what cinema it is playing at, when its playing and for how long. ‘MEET MIA’ this link allows you to watch interviews and read articles about Mia, this allows the audience to get to know Mia (Kate Jarvis) personally. ‘DOWNLOADS’ this allows you to download wallpapers of Mia. All these links are good to have on the website as it stands out to the audience and they are all clear to read and see and it allows the audience to get to know the film and Mia.

In the bottom right hand corner different quotes appear with different transitions. They are all good quote from reviews from magazines and newspapers. This is good for the audience to see as it allows them to read the good reviews and persuades them to see the film
