4 improvements that I could make upon this website are;
the first improvement that i would make would to to add a genre button so that the person who is viewing the website can see what range of genres that the site has, such as comedies and horrors. This will be a good improvement as people will now be searching for groups of films if they don't know what specific film they want to view.
the second improvement i would make to my website would be adding a link that pops up saying what films the student has already watched, this will help them remember what films they have and haven't watched. This will be a good way to improve my site as people will spend less time going through films they have already seen and then they can get onto newer films quicker.
the third improvement i would make would be to change the background for each season, such as winter would be a cold blue colour and this would be a little thing which will be a nice way to keep the site looking new and fresh. this would be a good improvement to my website such as if people keep seeing the same colour background they may get bored of it, so this may be something new to spice up the page!
the fourth improvement i would make would be to make my logo more modern, such as it seems to be quite old looking so if i make it look more cool and modern people will think it is a modern website and will not have boring films on it. this would be a good improvement to my website as it would then catch the users attention if the logo looks good and unique.

Navigation- when i was creating my website i had to make sure that the navigation on the site was easy to understand, i achieved this by creating a navigation bar along the top of my website with clear text to show you what button would link to what page such as i had hyper linked them.
HTML- i had to use HTML forms when creating my website such as i had to use this to add you tube videos into my website and i also had to embed the Paypal button which was done by HTML coding, this is basically used by anything on the web.
audio and visual elements- i have 11 trailers on my website and this all have both audio and video elements on them, i had embedded them into my site using single codes for each video, so users of the page could click on the video they wanted to watch and only watch that single trailer.
Hierarchy- this tool separates parts of the page in order of importance, this can be done through size, colour, shape or font.
On my site i have a picture of a old fashioned camera and next too it i have ' Kingswood School Film Club' which will both be seen straight away as these are the biggest things on my website, under this is my navigation bar with all of the pages listed. this will then show you the difference in importance and functionality.

TCP/IP protocols map to a four layer conceptual model.The four layers of the model are: Application, Transport, Internet and Network Interface.Each layer in the model corresponds to one or more layers of the seven layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model; (application layer, presentation layer, session layer, transport layer, network layer, data-link layer and physical layer).
Internet Layer- The Internet layers are responsible for addressing, packaging and routing functions. The core protocols of the Internet layer are IP, ARP, ICMP and IGMP.
The Internet Protocol (IP)- this is a routable protocol responsible for IP addressing, routing and the fragmentation and reassembly of packets.
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)- this is responsible for the resolution of the Internet layer address to the Network Interface layer address such as a hardware address.
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) - this is responsible for providing diagnostic functions and reporting errors due to the unsuccessful delivery of IP packets.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) - this is responsible for the management of IP multicast groups.
Transport Layer - The Transport layer is responsible for providing the Application layer with session and datagram communication services. The core protocols of the Transport layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
TCP provides a one-to-one, connection-oriented, reliable communcations service. TCP is responsible for the establishment of a TCP connection, the sequencing and acknowledgment of packets sent, and the recovery of packets lost during transmission.
UDP provides a one-to-one or one-to-many, connectionless, unreliable communications service. UDP is used when the amount of data to be transferred is small (such as the data that would fit into a single packet), when the overhead of establishing a TCP connection is not desired or when the applications or upper layer protocols provide reliable delivery.
Application Layer- The Application layer provides applications the ability to access the services of the other layers and defines the protocols that applications use to exchange data. There are many Application layer protocols and new protocols are always being developed. The most widely-known Application layer protocols are those used for the exchange of user information:
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
this is used to transfer files that make up the Web pages of the World Wide Web.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
this is used to the interactive file transfer.
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT)
this is used for the transfer of mail messages and attachments.
Internet Layer- The Internet layers are responsible for addressing, packaging and routing functions. The core protocols of the Internet layer are IP, ARP, ICMP and IGMP.
