Shutter IslandWeb analysis

TitlesAgain Shutter Island doesn’t have its own dedicated webpage but can be found on Paramount's page as they're the distributer.The main eye-catching title is the Paramount logo at the top left of the page , this stand s out as its in a bold black font fitting in with the genre of thriller.At the top left of the page there are sub titles which say ‘Movie , games/apps/inside and store'. This is used to give a clear direction to other products that are relate to Paramount , as the audience of Shutter Island may be interested in Paramount's other work. This also helps to develop a large audience for paramount helping with the support for future productions which is a typical convention for a production company especially from the five Majors , The Calibri font used adds a professional, clear image which suits the style of their 21 century films. The black colour used for the font allows the title to stand out and to be easily recognisable on the white background.There are also links to social media sites on the webpage, this is used as a way for Paramount to interact with their audiences for this film , keeping them updated and attract new people to go and watch the film.

Background• The background for the website sticks to the colour white throughout keeping it

consistent through the page. The colour white for the background allows the black font to stand out making it clear for the viewers to easily identify what the webpage says. The white background is very plane and simple however gives off a professional image for the webpage. I believe that compare to the Perfect Guys webpage this lacks attraction as the page isn’t as eye catching as it only sticks to one colour.

• The colour white could be used to indicate a blank slate as the true story isn’t clear as the film is known to have a confusing ending to by having the page white it could be used to indicate for the audience to write their own ending ,This could link to the mystery aspects of the subgenre of thriller. The colour white is very good when associated with the colour black as they contrast well together and give a clear image .
