Wireframe for my website

This is my intended wireframe for my website. I believe it is simple but effective. More commonly than not, a website that appears to be simple has a greater imapct on the viewer.

Here is a version of what my website could look like.




This is another design for my website. It is a bit wacky but is fairly interesting.

eXistenZ- Threshold concepts

"A threshold concept is like a portal, opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something. It represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing something, without which the learner can not progress"   Meyer & Land (2003).

Narrative
In terms of the films narrative, it is non-linear allowing the audience to intepret their own thoughts into what is happening. The constant change from virtual reality and realism can be confusing at times due to the twists and elements of surprise that the audience encounter every so often. The concept is different and uses numerous techniques to confuse the audience.

 

Interactivity

The film interacts well with the audience pulling them to fully concentrate for the duration of the film. By throwing the audience deep into the films concept so early on, it allows for them to immediately start to think about what is going on. Therefore the interaction between the film and the audience is evident.

Convergence

The convergence of two different concepts(reality and fantasy) works well in creating a different film idea. However at times it can become quite repetitive and confusing. I feel if the film was a bit more understanding in the confusing parts, then the two converging concepts would be more successful.
