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.
