British Film Websites

This Is England
http://www.thisisenglandmovie.co.uk/

The website looks patriotic in its layout and colour scheme. The colours used are blue, red and white which are obviously the colours of the union jack. Central to the website is a small screen, displaying clips from the movie which are designed to entice the reader to the film. A release date is shown above the screen. Surrounding this, acting as a border, is the Union Jack flag broken up and segregated giving a disjointed feeling to the movie. On the left of the screen, is the drop down menu in a similar colour scheme. Towards the bottom left, there is an image of the dvd itself, again giving the audience some idea of what to look out for.

The Duchess

The website layout is very different for this movie. The actual layout is relitavely plain- simple monochrome colours, making it seem quite classic. Perhaps this classic feel can relate to the time and what the movie is about. Taking up the majority of the page, in the centre is a large screen showing clips from the film, again enticing the audience to see the film. At the top of the screen there is a banner, with the title in a large, bold font and on the left, an image of the dvd itself. Towards the bottom, there is a menu portrayed horizontally, looking classic and plain also.

Love Actually
http://www.loveactually.com/

The website begins with an introductory page, basically showing images from the film presented as a collage feel with a ribbon around it, showing that the film is almost a present, so automatically there are connotations of christmas. Then there is a pop up of the actual website itself, with a red and white layout, which has similar christmas connotations. Central in the pop up website is the image from the dvd with the different characters. There is a small menu at the bottom, going horizontally in similar colours and layout. At the top there is a banner of the film and its release date also.
