The first screen from the Quarantine website has a link to buy the DVD and Blu-Ray. The image in the background is of the main character looking scared, edited to seem as if it has been captured through CCTV footage, which reflects the general nature of the film. The trailer takes up a significant portion of the screen, which will immediately draw people's attention to it. It plays automatically which increases the ease of use. There are links to photos, a game and a blog, among other things, which caters for everyone's interests.
The loading page for the website is the footage from the last clip in the trailer, played on a loop. This keeps the audiences attention and is much more interesting than just a black screen with a loading bar at the bottom. Once the page has loaded, the woman is dragged away and this is designed to shock people and to give an insight into the tense and scary nature of the film. For our own website, we are interested in playing an animation, because it will allow the audience to gain an insight into the genre and themes of our film, and offers a more interesting way to wait.
Once onto the main site, link options are displayed as soon as the mouse hovers over different sections. These include; video, gallery, game, about the movie, promotions, downloads and social networking. These links are set on the backdrop of the profile image of an apartment complex, which is where the film is set. The image itself is creepy, with the inclusion of flickering lights and fuzzy TV screens. The idea of hovering over something for it to appear is quite interesting and would be good to include, but it should be made obvious where to look for the different options, or it will decrease the ease of use.
