Web Site Design

For your final project, please select a film you really like and about which you would like to create a website.

Preferably this film should be one from among those we have seen or will still watch in our Colloquium, and also one that you did not review for your second paper.

By Tuesday, you should have some idea which features of the film you would like to address on your webpage. These could be features that you find particularly memorable or worth discussing in more detail, for example,
• the plot (how the plot relates to other toga movies, what's original about it),
• the acting,
• the costumes (how costumes support the film's message, characterization of roles, etc.)
• set (maybe in terms of the way it is used to convey the movie's themes),
• cinematography and editing (could talk, e.g., about the use of slow-motion in "Gladiator"),
• sound effects
• music
• leitmotifs or themes, recurrent imagery, etc., etc.

There are many ways to create a website for free and without too much technical knowledge.
If you have a Mac, you could try out your iWeb software.
PC Users may have something similar, or you could use, for example, WiX:

See you on Tuesday!
