Hey guys..

So I made a website for a independent feature film… I kinda messed up :P


I don't know how to add content to it without it looking crap :/

Front page:
http://lost-childhood.co.uk/

Pages with Content:
http://lost-childhood.co.uk/send_form_email.php

I don't have any creative ideas in my head…

What is the look you're trying to get? That would help :)

Well I think I've grasped the look, it's a social realism film Interlinked with with a stereotype of the demonized working class chav.
But it's extremely dark… Depressing…

Helpful? ^.^

Do you want the text to be centered on the page? Or what? That's what I meant, stuff like that :p

Did you use ?

<style type="text/css">
margin: auto;
</style>

That might work to center things, you might also have to set the width of certain elements.

Thanks mate! much appreciated

Not gonna lie, the trailer on the home page looks pretty shweet.

Homepage Feedback:
1. I would make that background image take up the whole screen, keep the background black, but using CSS you can make it resize according to the resolution.

2. Make the trailer video bigger and center it on the page. It's hard to get a good visual of it when it's so small, making it 800px wide would help with the video.

3. Lose the gray background for the text at the bottom, just have it overlay the background image and it will look fine.

4. Add social sharing buttons somewhere on the page.

Content Page Feedback:
1. Same as the homepage but minus the trailer video.

2. Make the dark gray background that sits behind the text transparent, and center it on the page.

3. Above the content, have the page title (Contact Information, for example) above the content box. Have it in the same font as the "Lost ChildHood" font you have on the homepage, but not quite as big.

That's the feedback that I can see for now.

That trailer is another film ;) This one I'm working with the director on has a bigger budget though :) started at £300k << ££ not $$ just to clarify ;)

and I tried to stretched CSS but it didn't really work because I still didn't know what to make the background. Have you got any examples? :)

On the stroy page, I realised a very small typo:

What about the strange neighbour across the road, is he watching them? does he have a child captive in the 3rd floor Attic?

The 'd' after the question mark needs to be a capital 'D'. Small typo, but looks unprofessional.

As for the homepage, I'd drag the Background Image to the bottom of the page rather than leaving it black.


Otherwise, very nice! :)
