Website Feedback

Task 8
The URL for the website is: www.samanthalong4.wix.com/carpediem

This was originally Blair’s job to create the website. As time went on it still wasn’t completed as she was catching up with other work which needed to be done, so me and Sam decided to take the mater into our own hands. The pictures above show the finalised website which Sam had done, but I helped at the beginning decide the layout and what content should be included. After it was put together we got a focus group together to look at our website, from this we gained feedback on how we could improve the website.

At first we had the background white because all the images and links would be in bright colours. But the focus group advised us to have a brighter coloured background as it’s more appealing to look at. We decided to change the background to a green colour making it brighter. Furthermore we chose a layout that consisted mainly of images with a caption of writing under the main image. The focus group suggested we either change the layout or get rid of a lot of the photos to include more information on each of the pages, after some research into other film websites, it was decided to change the layout and include some relevant information. Another bit of feedback we gained was to add to the ‘Locations’ page, seeing as the animation is focused on the different places Bill travels to, the page had to include a lot of information. The content included was what we wanted the audience to think about at each location and why the characters decided to travel.

We still agree with not having a characters page. The two characters that appear in our animation are silhouettes and do not speak at all. There would simply not be enough information to fill a page on our characters making it irrelevant. Although I did under-go character development in our pre-production to ‘bring them alive’, the animation is supposed to focus on the travelling and each location.
