working title. role of website.
On Working Title's website there is a split in the main points of information at the top of the website this is on an easily accessible bar. This clearly demonstrates different elements for the company such as news trailers, films and features.
The home page also features slides that have 5 films linking to their trailers, this helps the audience to decide whether to go and see the new release and gives a good first impression.
The layout is also very simple and modern, the side highlight boxes are clear and vary in colours.
They interact with fans by having games relating to their recent films, this is unique as instead of prioritising in providing information regarding their films they can make promoting their films fun. It also allows users to compete against other users so they might want to come back to it, or perhaps even see the film because the game was fun. This could be enjoyed by all ages.
The what’s new part of the homepage gives a brief look into news and upcoming events without being off putting.
They also provide information on past films by featuring the opinions of their actors on the bottom of the page titled 'The heritage collection'. Having their actors opinion and therefore linking further into past film info it attracts them in and they can briefly learn about films they produced they might not have known about.

audience appeal to my boy jack
My Boy Jack appeals to audiences through audience pleasures. The genre of the drama is historical and focused on war, therefore it will draw in viewers of people who are interested in these topics as well as people who wish to learn more about them. The genre communities’ is wide. The counter reading of genre will also encourage people to watch as they may foreshadow to what may happen. Many different emotional pleasures will be drawn, for example reactions will be different to what's seen from a person who was alive in the war time to a person who was not.
As the drama is revolved around a father and son relationship the social demographics of the audience would be those of a similar situation, a young adult son and father. They would watch as, from encoding the drama they can relate to characters. Also mothers would watch as they can relate to the situation as well. The ages of those who would watch the drama would differentiate. An older person who was alive in the war would watch as it would reinforce memories and emotions they felt in that time. A younger person would watch My Boy Jack to educate them of different aspects of war as well as for entertainment.
Though the use of gratifications the audience can use the information given to understand what era the drama is set, an example of this is the car being driven. It is obvious that it is from the early twentieth century. Social interaction is shown when the character Jack is trying to complete the eye exam but cannot do so, the audience feels empathy for him. Audiences enjoy drawing emotions from what they see. The setting and costume in the drama are both entertaining for the viewer. An appeal of the drama is for those who enjoy classic architecture and upper class fashion in this era.
As the plot of the drama is very far removed from today's world the audience can escape from everyday pressures, this escapism increases enjoyment as for that short while they can indulge in the on screen goings-on. From this the audience can also study their personal identity against those of the characters. In this case it would be comparing one’s life against one of an upper-class father and son who are well respected by royal.
