Blog Exploration #2: "Coraline"
http://www.coraline.com/
This Flash site was created to promote the animated film called "Coraline".Once you've enter the official site it has an interactive background showing the house and set in which the movies takes places. It also has a border menu at the bottom of the screen where you can click to view the trailer, learn about the film and cast,the DVD, or view a map of the places on the set you can navigate through.


On the interactive background you can click and go into to either, the Garden, the Well, Coraline's apartment, the upstairs apartment, or the downstairs apartment where the other character in the film live. In each of these places there are object that animate where you can click and view some short films that discuss the making of "Coraline" or little games you can play.

When you enter into the garden it allows you to create your own flower which I thought was really cute. When you go into the well there are many different behind-the-scenes pictures and a few short clips you can look at along the well's wall.

Inside Coraline's apartment you can view her bedroom, living room, her father's study,and the "Other Mother's Workshop". In each of these places are little interesting clips of interactive objects like Coraline's photo in her bedroom or the piano in her father's study. In the "Other Mother's Workshop" you can go and build a doll face of your own using your own photo.

Inside the apartment underneath Coraline's is where Mrs.Forcible and Mrs. Spink live, two old women who ,I believe, use to be actresses. In their home you can view the theatre where you can see some more clips from the making of the movie and trailers.

In the apartment above Coraline is Mr. Bobinsky and his mouse circus.In there you can view a movie clip from the movie.

There is a lot more to do in this website than what I've named. It's a very well thought out website and it really made me what to see the movie, which I did and I love it.
