Expectations for Wicker Park

Movie production companies make previews in order to generate interest for a film. Many times the impression one gets from the preview is not the true intent of the film. Studios often try to appeal to a specific market in order to make money. Click here to see the official website for Wicker Park. Click on Enter Site and look at the gallery and trailer. Explore the website and take note of the techniques the website designer uses to make the film intriguing. Many times the impression one gets is not the true meaning or intent of the film. Then go on to your blog account and write a journal entry (about 150 words) stating what you think the film will be about. When writing the blog ask yourself certain questions:

1. What do you think is the genre?
2. Who will the trailer appeal to?
3. Does the website succeed or fail in making the film appear intriguing?
