This is our finished website, and when we decided on this site we wanted to conform to the conventions of solos singers and also girl band sites. We looked into sites such as Beyonce's and Pussycat Dolls sites. We saw that all the sites we viewed had a focus point, an image at the top of the band, for the audience to establish who the website is representing. We conformed to this and had another of our photo shoot images at the top of the image. We also used similar colours that are on our Rap Magazine Cover, to make it all fit together well. We used similar colours to The Pussycat Dolls, blacks and pinks, and also used similar images, as they have an image of themselves on a pole, which we emulated. We also used the image of us all in black, looking similar, to show a united front as a real girlband, this is common in the sites we viewed. I also found that the websites of other bands were done in the third person, talking about the band, and had tour dates, other celebrities, and release dates. We also used this to make our site look real, using links at the top of the page to take you to other pages. We did not challenge any of the conventions for this website, we embraced them to create a realistic band site.
Once again, the three of our tasks together look very realistic, and the use of similar colours all the way through create a theme, and make our band look real, and as shows the thought we put in to all aspects of the band creation. The use of the photo shoot images on the two smaller tasks keeps the consistency and authenticity, as they may not be the same, but they have the same styling and background.
We again had audience feedback for the website. However we had verbal communication with the audience rather than written. The audience was aged 16+, and all liked the site. They said it was good how they colours and ideas were similar throughout all of our tasks, and said that it was very professional how we had links to other pages and had spoken in the third person.The audience said that the only change they would make is more images of the band as other pages do have a lot of images of themselves. This is something we are going to take into account and make sure that next time we do a similar task we will ask the audience for feedback before the finished product is made.
We used media technologies all the way through the process of making the website. When I researched into the website, i used google to find the sites of other celebrities, prints screens of whichcan be found earlier on my blog. I used print screens on my blog to upload images when researching into this site. The research and planning was interlocked with this task as the planning came after looking at other websites to see what I had to do. I also used links to other sites to make sure I knew what we were doing. When planning, we had already used the photo shoot to get the images we needed to put on the site, so the camera was again used. When actually creating the site Emily used Iweb on the Macbook to do so. It was the best programme to use we thought, as we could access it easily on the macbook, and also it had to technology we needed to add links to other pages and upload the images in the correct place.
