Film Websites

Why do companies use websites to promote their films?

Companies use websites in order to advertise their movies. These websites give the audience more information about the film. They are able to reach out to a wider audience.

This is so the films are much more popular in cinemas, and therefore, the companies can make more money. They usually give an insight of what the film will be about.
For example, the Star Wars films generally have their own websites, giving the audience information prior to their release. I think that this is a good idea, as it enables the viewers to see whether they think they will enjoy the film or not.
Many new and upcoming movies, like Wonder Woman or Moana, have their own websites so that the film can be explored. The Disney film Moana has a website designed for a younger audience; things like games and printable colouring pages attract young children to their website, and will often watch the film after seeing these. Additionally, a store is often advertised on their websites so that people can buy official merchandise, therefore creating the company more money.


The Star Wars film Rogue One has its own website, which enables the viewer to have a preview of the film. The website enables you to see behind the scenes and introduces the audience to new characters. This is important for not just a fan, but also a critic or a general viewer, as they can experience and see the different things about the film. It enables the company/film producers to gain a bigger audience and helps them to spread the information to many people. This then helps them to attract more visitors to the cinema and gain money.




The website offers extra information to the viewer. It guides them through the webpage but also introduces the audience to the characters.
It also enables the viewer to follow the films pages through links, for example Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
