Content: IMDBIMDB (Internet Movie Database) is an online database of information which relates to the celebrity and film industry. This includes discussions about films, television programs, video games and upcoming red carpet events. When you access the website it allows you to pick from a variety of films but it also has a search box right at the top middle centre. Here you get to search any celebrity, any film or television programme. For example as you can see bellow I have searched Brad Pitt. Immediately it comes up with a picture of the celebrity so the audience can identify with who they are searching and along with that is a mini biography of the celebrity they have searched. This allows the target audience to automatically find out basic facts and information about their chosen celebrity. If you then continue to scroll down the page it shows you all the films that particular person has stared in and also films/ television series that person is working on in the upcoming future. Finally if you scroll down to that last third it allows you to access even more personal details about your chosen celebrity such as height, nicknames and also opinions and interests. They also have trailers for every film and exclusive interview. This website has excelled over the years and has been ranked at 47, making it one of the 50 most-visited websites today. This may not only be to do with the extensive variety of content available but it may be to do with the iconography of the page. The page layout is very eye catching which makes the target audience more intrigued and allows them to think of its importance. For example the colour for the website is a yellow/ gold like colour which conveys wealth and importance. This may attract people to the site as this is something they would like to be associated with which also intrigues them. This website is aimed at any age however it is proven that IMDB is mainly searched by people who are studying film. However the website is aimed at anyone who has a love and interest for media and wanting to find out more. IMDB is quite a formal website, because it shows the UK/US Box Office, showing how much money the movie had earned, for example for the film Insidious 2 it says: Weekend: ?2.88M, Total: ?2.88M, Weeks: 1. It also shows what time you can see the films, recent events, new films that are out and what films are coming out soon.27146255778500-2381256223000Questionnaire What do you think the age group of IMDB would be? 10-15: l 16-18: lll 19+ 1What do you think of the layout of IMDB?

We also found out that people wouldn’t want to use IMDB Pro because you would have to pay. As well as this, we also found out that they found IMDB useful, although one person said no perhaps this is because it did not have what they were looking for. They all said that it was easy to find the information they wanted or needed, as well as this they also said that the layout was very good this is because it had a more informal feel but it was easy to find the things they wanted. Within this Questionnaire we also found out that a range of people of all ages use IMDB whether for Educational or Entertainment purposes, or both. ................
