We are witnesses of the flood of responsive web sites. Those sites are made to be useful on all kind of devices, from desktop computers to mobile phones. It's not enough to have only a template that's responsible. If you are about to use modules on the responsive website, those modules must be responsive as well. Hot Film Tape is on of such modules because it supports the responsive mode. In this mode, this module automatically resizes itself in order to fit the available screen space as good as possible. If you are not a fan of responsive websites, you can turn this feature off in the module settings.
So, what Hot Film Tape does and what's its purpose for your site. Let's explain that in several sentences. This is endless carousel that scrolls slides from right to left. You can have up to 20 slides (it easy to modify the module to extend it's capacity though) and each slide is presented as a "slot" in the module parameters. Each slot can contain any HTML content that you enter using WYSIWYG editor (such as JCE or TinyMCE) or using plain text editor (if you are familiar with HTML). Therefore, each slot can contain literally anything you can think of. You can put text, images, YouTube movies or anything else inside the slides. You can even make combination, in example, the first slot with text, the second with image, the third with a movie and the fourth with text and images. Content of the Hot Film Tape is completely up to you.
In this example, the container of the module has width set to 100%, so it occupies the full screen. If you are using this module with another template, make sure the container where you put the module has the similar settings. But it's not necessary because this module can occupy only a part of your site's space. One more feature that makes this module very flexible.
Please spend some time experimenting with Hot Film Tape. You can also have multiple instances of the module on screen, just make sure that you entered different unique IDs in parameters.

Hot Full Carousel is Joomla module that acts as an endless carousel. It can occupy entire space of the screen, no matter how big it is. What's achieved by this? Well, users with higher screen resolution usually have a lot of empty space when visiting a website that has a regular width. This Carousel can span the entire horizontal space making the site more interesting. User can oversee the slide that's about to come, and also those that's passed over the screen recently. Using the navigation, user's able to browse through the slides. There are several types of easing that can be applied to the scrolling animation. Also, some or all slides from the set can be linked. It's possible to have up to 20 slides in the rotation (more is not recommended because it could slow down site). For every slide we have a "slot" in the module parameters where we can assign image, heading, text and optionally link.
This module should be placed in a container that has width set to 100%. If you are using another template, make sure that's your case, otherwise, the module won't be able to occupy the entire space. If you are developing your template using Sparky Framework, you can make a row, add a class name of your choice to it, and then give set this class' width to 100% by editing CSS stylesheet. However, in Hot Cinema template everything is pre-configured, so you don't have to worry about it (especially if you installed the template using the HotStart method).
We believe you will find this module useful for your site!
