Creating the promotional website for "When It Rains" was tricky. As I established several times before, it is a Japanese foreign film which would mean that the film would first need to be established in Japan. Of course, I wouldn't go as far as to make the entire website for the film in Japanese (for project purposes), so I made it a little easier for the English speaking viewers to look at.
My inspiration for creating the website (though not at all similar to it) was based on three anime from my favorite animation studio, Kyoto Animation from Japan. The websites are linked below:
Two of these websites are for the newly released and premiering films from KyoAni that debuts the characters, includes galleries and official art from the show, ticket sales, preview dates, and shops for souvenirs. "Ame Ga Futtara" also has the options of previewing and learning about the characters and includes galleries and screenshots from the movie as a way to promote viewers to watch it.
The style for the website is rather simple; nothing flashy or terribly detailed and beautiful like the websites listed above from KyoAni (I'm not a professional after all). The simplistic style is meant to mirror the style of the film, simple, sweet, and very whimsical. The child's book aspect of the film transitions into the website, which allows access for children to view and see the characters and provides information for upcoming news and information. It's a great way to let people know and promote the film.
