sbs.com.au (Missing: An Interactive Documentary)
I chose a one page interactive site called Missing: An SBS Interactive Documentary. It goes through the disappearance and murder of a little girl. I have never seen something labeled as a documentary on this kind of platform before, so that is why I chose it. The colors of the site vary seeing as most of the time it is a colored photograph(s). During transitions though the colors are dark and Moody. You see a lot of Black, Dark Brown, and Maroon. A lot of the elements are dissolved and layered overtop of one another giving the viewer some anxiety. The use of 3-D imagery also adds to this. It is a single page site but it tells you when to click for it to transition between different pieces of content. You can also move your cursor to explore/see more of the scene. There is no scrolling involved that I can see/use. If there is a fact or something important you should know about the story, it is placed in the center of the screen on a dark background in bright letters. The use of multiple, complementary typefaces also makes it easier to read. Personally, I like the idea of the site and the overall feel. I do think though that it is a bit hard to navigate and walkthrough. I almost feel like I need more direction in using it. This difficulty though does add to the story in a way.
