Evaluating an animation website

So, for one of our tasks in class we were told to use thewebsite digitalfilms.com, and create an animation, which can be found here: Our Movie!
It's not the most skillful movie but hey, it's what we could come up with in a short space of time. 
We were asked to consider the age, range and suitability of the website, as well as other factors such as whether it is easy to navigate. Which to be fair, was pretty hard for us because we got sidetracked with all the pretty backgrounds and the characters.

We have come to the conclusion that the target age group of the website would be older primary school as the animations are colourful, however the website can be difficult to navigate and we would therefore suggest that children should be supervised while using it in order to get the most out of the website. The website was also very basic in the range of different scenes you could choose from or the characters you could create and the guidence given is easy to follow, however it can take a while to get used to. In order to create a movie you do need to register onto the website, which is completely free to use. There were some features of multimedia, which were pictures, animation, text and music, but you could only use the features already provided on the website, rather than being able to upload your own images or music.

The members of our group included Shannon Stevens, Rita Callaca and Jo-Beth Vearncombe
