Website Process

This is the home page for the website, as you can see the title is similar to the one on our film. The website was created using WIX.com which is a free website where you can make your own sites from templates.

This is how I added a gallery to the behind the scenes page, on the left hand side you get a navigation panel which gives you multiple options as to what media you would like to add. Under the gallery option I went with a sort of multiple square picture box, you can see it on the actual page to the right.

WIX gives you the option to add social links, these social links appear as buttons on the page. You can select which social media buttons you want to appear. You are provided with a set of basic ones from WIX but you can upload your own images as well, these buttons then are given a hyperlink to the actual social media site which you can paste.

Simple function such as editing text, once you press on the selected text you are provided with certain options which enable you to edit the text. These options are very basic and simple, such as font size, style and color. 

This where we paste a trailer for our short film, you can easily create a box where you can make it or as in the case of the template I was working from there was already a video I just had to go select the URL from youtube and paste it instead which then automatically pastes the video on the page.

Our website has been a working project ever since we started, anything we have felt necessary has been uploaded or saved so it can be put onto the website. As you can see below, the picture we used to enter the THIMUN film festival. Its a promotional picture which we imported and pasted onto the website. To make it fit in well I had to crop out the top title and some writing which was below, this picture will be incorporated into more aspect of our media production.

Below here is the a screenshot showcasing the process taken to upload the images, it is rather simple as we just have the image saved as a JPEG file which can then be selected and uploaded. Once uploaded you are provided with a standard tool kit which enables you to edit the picture like cropping it and tilting it.

As you can see for the background I have gone for a picture which indicates a 'sweet' theme for our project. The donuts are obviously representative of this, upon selecting I was provided with a very basic set of samples. We originally created our own background which was with lollipops as we were going to use this in other parts of our project as well to represent the theme but we decided to cut this out as it did not work very well nor did the created background look nice once pasted on the page.
