Conventions of a film website

Whilst creating our film website we looked at current films of the same genres websites to see what inspiration we could get and what conventions we wanted to match or challenge. Some typical conventions of a film website are as follows;
• Film title
• Background image from the movie
• Large movie logo- usually centralised
• Release date
• Tag line
• Main actor names
• Links to other pages (extras)
• Links to social networking sites (Facebook, twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Instagram)
• Working title logo
• Link to the trailer
• Certification
• Links to review

Some examples of film websites we looked at were;
- Les Mis
- Life of Pi
- Electrick Children
- Fish Tank
