Making of the website

This is a step by step process of making the website, we used WIX website editor. This is a simple website designer but it is very effective and can create a professional website. 

Firstly we added the different pages for the website, this design was inspired by a recent website we have been looking at http://symirroretry.com/. We really liked this design and felt it looked extremely professional and easy to navigate. This is why we decided to use their layout as a back bone. 

When designing the home page we wanted to have strong imagery that reflects our film and the over all vibe. We settled on using a similar shot as the desert shot in the film. We feel this would make it easy for people to relate our website to the film, and also to the postcard etc. 

We started off by adding the writing seems as we didn't have the shots yet just an idea. We wanted to use a catchy synopsis of the film to interest the viewer and give them and idea of what the film is about. We chose ' A documentary celebrating a young mans passions of skating in Qatar'.

Next was to design the about page. This page consists of the full synopsis and more about the film giving the viewer and additional detail about the film still with the aim to interest them into watching it. 

When organising the cast page we followed our inspiration 'symirroretry' as seen below;

We liked how easy to read it is buy yet very professional with the smart minimalism. We decided to recreate this and then add in the pictures later.

I really like how the name is associated with a visual imagery of the person, this creates a more personal level with the artists and puts a face to the name.

We also made a page that is dedicated to music, i feel this is important to give credit to the artist and to do so we created a page with their live links on Soundcloud and their cover art.

In terms of advertisement we created social media for the film production company to promote their new film 'Drops' We decided to use the most popular sites such as e, Instagram, Vimeo, Twitter and Youtube.
