1. The layout and presentation of the entrance page is very simple and straightforward, based on a white background. There is no main image, but a copy of the DVD cover and a button that offers you the chance to buy the DVD. The teaser for the film is located on the entrance page. And surrounded by competition buttons. Surprisingly both pages do not have or offer social networking icons, disallowing more publicity or advertisement. There is also actress recognition to the best known ‘Amanda Bynes’. It also informs the audience of when the film will be available to buy on DVD. Website Analysis- She’s THE MAN However neither the entrance page or homepage for the film contain a navigational bar offering the opportunity to visit other pages such as images, history behind the film, synopsis etc. Although they advertise the DVD there is no music player or a taster of music that could entice the viewer.
2. She’s THE MAN continued… Like most websites it contains a billing box and copyright logo. As well as the release date of the film. The main webpage includes the selling line, which hints at the confusing/ complicated story line. Its written like one big rant, which immediately addresses its teenage based audience. The house colours are continued from the poster and DVD cover; black and red writing on a white background. This creates fluidity and makes us immediately recognise the film, having seen the film myself red and black are used throughout the film for example two lines are marked on the footballers faces in the final match using red and black face paint. However there are no images of characters on the homepage in order to establish stereotyping. The image above however hints at a school/college setting, there’s stationary, as well as social objects such as a mobile phone, sun glasses and a football addressing the target audience This homepage follows typical codes and conventions as it includes; film title, release date, selling line, billing box, copy right logo, and an image. All features found in existing media web pages.
3. Another She’s THE MAN homepage… This homepage does contain music and it’s the films actual soundtrack, its up-beat and gives us a feel of what the films about. At the bottom of the page is a navigational bar offering the options of; DVD features, story, Media, Behind the Scenes, Downloads, Ringtones & More and Soundtrack. This offers a chance to see extra footage, a brief description of the story as well as other links and the ability to download. Props: Her skirt and revealing top are typically feminine , in contrast to the inclusion of a football which is stereotypically male. Although she appears quite girly the football hints at tom-boyish behaviour. The DVD cover and main image introduce the main characters and the sticky storyline. There outfits suggest they are teenagers, and the props such as the football we’d associate with the male characters, he also has his shirt of an appears muscular suggesting he cares about his appearance. The girl (Monique) is holding lipstick and a mirror, evidently she is meant to be the vein character.
4. The layout is simplistic and centred on a white background. This webpage adopts some codes and conventions there is a release date, film title, the selling line, Addresses actors and also includes a critic. There’s also a navigational bar offering Plat trailer, synopsis, cast, downloads, buy DVD. Information is available about the cast members, as well as the film. Like she’s the man there's also a music player which plays songs used in the film and contribute to the rom- com genre. Also contains an age rating of 12A- suggesting adult humour and content. There are competition offers and a chance to preview or buy the DVD. There is a fluidity of the colour schemes, pink representing the feminine side and the blue more masculine. The use of the props like the rugby ball under her foot and her sitting with her legs open are stereotypically male traits. The boy however is reading a book and his legs crossed how a lady would sit, this reinforces the plot of the story.
