2. Exploring and Evaluating Promotional Material for Existing films: Alice in Wonderland


1. The colour design that is basically used for all of the web pages for the Alice in Wonderland website are all dark colours with shades of dark light colours shown on few of the characters. The basic colour scheme that is used is black or dark blue. The backdrops of the pages are seen as dark and sinister in most of the pages. The spacing of each page is spaced with information about the topic of the page in a small section and the image of the background clearly distinct. The main focus point for most of the pages are, layout to capture the different characters on the pages.

2. The design for the pages have repetition of the title, the information that may be needed and everything else seems to be the same, except for the information placed on the page. For most the pages, the layout is similar in the way they have a small section of the page and the rest is covered with the image in the backdrop.

3. The overall feeling that is developed in the website is clean, crisp, dark, moody and maybe grungy. From the colours to the images you can clearly distinct the genre by looking that the images and the colour scheme. Most of the pages have a darker colour scheme, which maybe translated as having a horror genre but this can just be a sub-genre where they have more than one genre. Another genre that can be distinct from the feeling of the website is a fantasy genre. The genre is clear and dark due to the colours and images.

4. The format of the website is set out as being the same on each page, having the title on the left hand corner, big and noticeable. With having different the same information on the left, the layout of this information is very clear to understand and it’s very easy to follow as well. All of the pages are the same in the layout concept, which show great deal of detail to what the sub-topic is about.

5. The target audience that is directed towards is more for children where the story of Alice in Wonderland is concerned. But when you look at the colour scheme you consider that this film is directed towards a target audience a much older age than 10 or younger. I believe when you view the website you look upon an audience older than 15 because from the way the colour scheme is drawn, you notice a darker look upon this fairytale story. But if you think about, you notice that most of Tim Burton’s films are dark in the way he presents different versions of musicals or retold movies. From the colour scheme you notice that this version of Alice in Wonderland is darker than usual and you may guess that the target audience would be around the ages or 15 and older.

6. Well there isn’t anything bad of a good movie website. If the movie were a huge success in the theatres than you may have guessed that the website would be as good as the film. So far all the ‘hit’ films have a great website, with no bad problems about it. This may be caused because the movie was a hit and so they would have thought about doing a website that everyone would get more information about the movie. Overall there aren’t any bad concerns to this version of Alice in Wonderland.
