Consuming a film via the internet

How many different ways can you 'consume' a film on the internet?

Skyfall website:
Skyfall is your more traditional film website but nonetheless slick, like bond himself. There are many ways of the consuming the film on the site and they range from pictures of the film itself to alcoholic beverages that promote the film. I enjoyed the website and not just because of the Bond Girls, but because of the ambient music in the background and the images of Bond himself popping up all over the screen. I also enjoyed the exclusive videos, which were interesting, as we could watch and see how they made the film. It was less of an interactive website than looper but was still enjoyable nonetheless and especially for a big Bond fan, like myself.



















Scott Pilgrim:
This film site is a few years older than the other two, therefore it is not quite as slick and up to date. However it is still useful and there are many ways you can consume the film, such as you can read the film synopsis, buy it on Blu - Ray and DVD, watch clips of the making of the film and look at other films that you might also enjoy. I wasn't as impressed with this site as i was with the others but that is undertsandable due to the fact that the film is 3 years older and the film industry has changed a lot in the last three years. I thought they could have spent more time on the interactive side of the website in order to keep the audience entertained.







Looper:
There are many ways you can consume the film on their online website. You can consume it via iTunes, blu ray and DVD, Ultra Violet, online video games and many more. You are also able to look at pictures, videos and trailers from the film itself on their website. Another way to consume the film is the website itself as it so interactive people will remember it. I really enjoyed the website because it was very interactive and made the experience fun. Due to the fact that Flash website was so interactive i didn't find myself getting bored whilst looking at it. However, one thing I would say is that there was a little too much going on and i wasn't sure where to look most of the time.
