Evaluation of working titles website
Having looked at the working titles website at first glance the website is very visual and provides lots of information on both the most recent films that have been released but also the other films that were released in recent years. It also shows films which are in the production stage that will be released later in the year or early next year such as Billy Elliot the musical.
The website provides information about the films such as the budget for each of the films that have been made by the production company. Also viewers can watch the official trailers of the films on there website to see if they want to watch the whole film. They also show the latest news on the films such as the premiers and also upcoming films that working titles plan to make.
The website has many links at the top of the page to navigate easily around the website these include film, trailers, news, theatre and features which include games relating to the films which will attract a younger audience.
Overall the website is very easy to use and is very modern because of the features it uses for example the website flicks between each film that they are making just to give the audience an idea of what they produce. The website is clear because they keep a basic colour scheme of black and white to match their logo.

How does my boy Jack appeal to audiences?
My boy jack would appeal to may a specific audience because of the genre of the drama because it is a historical drama it may appeal to the older generations and those who are interested in ww1 which is the time in which the story is based on. However some of the younger generations may want to watch it so that they can learn more about ww1.
The actors in the drama may also appeal to the audience as many people will know the actors such as Daniel Radcliffe from the harry potter series and also Carey mulligan who has become a famous actress in recent years. And these famous names may appeal to the audience as it would mean a higher production value meaning that more money can be spend on making the story so this could mean that it is a better drama then perhaps others that have been made.
Notes From My Boy Jack
NOTES:
Character and performance
Popular actors- Daniel Radcliffe is familiar from harry potter.
The characters are well educated, rich, and posh and respect each other however some are snobby towards each other and jack is look down on because his father is a writer.

Dialogue
Short formal conversation
Poshly spoken
Rehearsed and realistic
Relationships between characters aren't that strong as they address each other as sir and being called by their last names.
Audience

Because of actors- appeal to mass audience this shows high production values.
Represents change in value from 1914 to modern day.
