Codes and conventions I've found on websites

 



Codes and conventions I've found on websites.

I looked at 3 different posters, each poster was from a different genre. I can see that a few codes and convention occur in all 3 posters.

Here are the codes and conventions I have found to run throughout most film websites:

• Links to social media pages
• Production Company logos
• Navigation bar
• Poster or trailer on home page
• Same colour as posters and trailers
• link to a product or ticket sales page

From seeing this, I am going to make sure all of these will be included on the website I am making for my film.

However, there are noticeable variations and differences throughout the websites. For example, the home page of 'Dumbo' is built around the sale of products and tickets whereas the home page of 'Deadpool 2' is built around creating hype to the film i.e. it has many social media reviews and more trailers, clips and posters. Contrasting this, the home page for 'Five Feet Apart' has a very basic home page but features many more pages for information.
