When you first log onto the site it has a introductory clip of a TV with Saw's face on (this is largely associated with the Saw movies and therefore a type of branding). The homepage uses dark colours, with the centre a silver colour and in the shape of a circular saw, iconic to the movie and also associated with slasher and gore movies. The title is positioned in the top right hand corner of the page, so the eye is immediately drawn to it. It is very user friendly as all the links to other parts of the site are easily seen and the image shakes when you hover the mouse over it. The typography still keeps with the codes and conventions of the genre. Links to the other Saw sites are easily accesable, and all in the traditional 'Saw' font which is unique to the saw films.The homepage has advertisments for saw merchandise and interviews with the cast which involves viewers more and gains interest and tempts them to buy it.
