Research: Contents

This is the most important and vital part of the website. We want to use as much content as possible as our course is a multimedia module. The concept of our module course is about the multimedia contents that will be used in our website. These contents will help us make our website to be interactive and have many different types of visuals to keep the audience inattentive.

• Text - It isn't only about whether the things that you read is written in a formal or informal way. But it is about the way it looks to the audience, the colours and font, whether it is easy or a hassle to read and whether is is comfortable to read or irritating. As mentioned before, there have been many websites we have looked at. Some were pleasurable to read, others have too many colours clashing. Not only that, but we need to have the font to be linked in with the theme that we have for our website. For example, if it is a friendly blog we need to link it in with a 'friendly' looking font, to invite that person to read. Or if the theme of the website is about a charity website we need to link the font with formality and not childish, so the audience can take this charity seriously. The way the text is visualised is very important along with the other contents in the website. We shall be looking for a 'professional' looking text to give the audience a professional vibe but the way we write on our fashion blog will have a friendlier tone to it. 
• Images - Most of the content that will be used for our website will be images. Why? Images speak a lot to the audience and creates stories in their heads. Images are also important to our theme as its about fashion, therefor there will be a lot of images showing these photo shoots, different trends to show the audience and images of make-up. 
• Videos - This will come in handy. We found a way of using videos. There are many ideas such as shooting behind the scene of a photo shoot, stopping people on the streets and ask for fashion dos and don'ts and edit some trailers to keep the audience entertained and keep them updated. 
• Audio - This is the hardest content to fit in our website as our website is about fashion and beauty. This would lay perfectly in other people's websites if it had something to do with music or travel. However this is beauty and fashion, we need to figure out how to use this content into our website. We thought we could have used a music playlist on our website, however it may annoy the reader as they might be listening to their own playlist or it may interrupt the videos that will be played. The audio will just be used in our edited videos such as pumping music for our trailers. Dialogues are under audio, therefore that is one type of audio taken care of such as models having a conversation on camera, or the photographer directing the models on film. Another type of audio that can be used are sound effects that could be used in our behind the scenes such as blooper moments. 

These contents will all be used in a creative and make it a unique thing for our website. This will be discussed before we start planning for our website.
