The ring

http://www.ring-themovie.com/


Odd images have been used, some to indicate some images in the film. They are effective as they stand out and move when you run your mouse over them.
The background is black and black usually signifies scariness and it creates more of an atmosphere to a scary site. It adds to the effect of it being a horror film.
There is an option of hyperlinks leading to different things that the viewers might want to look at. It is in bold white writing underlined with red which draws attention to the viewers.
There is an option to see the trailer so you don’t have to come off the website to look elsewhere. Again, it is bold and noticeable and given us help in creating our website as we wouldn’t of thought of it before.
When you run your mouse over some of the images, they get bigger with a heading of what you are going to be looking at.

Before you enter the site, it shows you the date in which the DVD will be released, as well as the release date of the film. It draws your attention to the DVD box in the middle of the screen as it is bright, colourful and hard to miss. It says ‘Enter the site’ at the bottom in bold writing which indicates that you are not actually on the site until you click on that

As you enter the site, it comes up with the title of the film and flashes to different scenes which were too fast for me to print screen. It is very effective as it shows the audience not only the site but the scenes within the film. It makes the viewer want to watch the film. It also creates tension and suspense leading up to the actual site.
The effects used are that of flashing, flashbacks of the film and the scenes and words come closer to the screen.

As the introduction to the site continues, it flashes up with a sentence leading on to the title of the film again as seen below. It has disturbances as if watching an old tape.
