Last week I shared a website that was based around the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel directed by Wes Anderson. I shared this website because I was thoroughly thrilled by the creative aspects throughout the whole website. I have not been able to figure out how they created different aspects of tools throughout the website, but it is definitely a lot of fun to play with.

Wes Anderson really opens his viewers up to the world that he has created for The Grand Budapest Hotel, and helps create a story outside of the movie, onto his website. This project may not be a digital humanities project, it still identifies key things that I think are important to remember for a digital humanities project:

1. [They] should be knowledgeable and have plentiful research on their topic to have a clear focus.
   1. Wes Anderson has achieved this by creating lots of different aspects that give you more information behind things that happen in the movies. He includes documents of death certificates, and news clippings to show his research.
2. Use tools in a productive way that will benefit the potential audience.
   1. The tools that Wes Anderson has included in this really open up the different ways that files can be viewed; being able to click on a photo and have it zoomed in and colorized helps bring life to the pieces that the audiences view.

These are important things to consider when documenting and creating a website based on history – or anything in general.
