 * 2. Planning (20marks) (H2.2, H5.1, H6.1) **

Both solution one and two are possible design storyboards for websites. The benefit of using this type of multimedia is that it is fairly cheap to start up and easy to maintain. Unlike printed media, websites can be constantly updated and revamped to keep the audience interested. In reality, society today is really busy and constrantly out and about - the best way to reach the public is through the internet because whether one is at home browsing the internet or at work procrastonating, if they see an interesting webstite they are likely to investigate it. Using the internet allows a company to create a global audience and target millions of people a twenty four hours a day, seven days a week - no other advertising medium has this sort of capability. The advantages of using this medium far outweight the disadvantages and risks. Risks associated with using websites include: crashing/hacking, privacy and ethics. Most of these risks are self explanatory, except ethics. Ethics relating to these two solutions would be on the review pages. If these pages allow people to post their comments straight to the website they will have the means to post inappropriate pictures and text. To avoid this issue some sort of filtering needs to be implemented, the safest would be to have the submissions e-mailed. These reviews could be checked and then posted onto the website if they are appropriate. This multimedia could be built on an endless list of web building programmes. For this particular situation it will be builts using iWeb.

//** Overall, Solution two would be a better choice than solution one. Although the content that they hold is fairly similar, their layout is completely different. Solution two is better organised and easier to navigate through. It is more user friendly, focusing on genres so that people can look at the genres that interest them most. Each genre page has recomended titles that could be updated regularly to keep people coming back to see updates. Solution two also incorporates facebook. Facebook have become an advertising phenomenom, once a company has reached it's potential customers on facebook they have the opportunity to constantly throw information at them without the customer realising. **//
