REFLECTIONS

This project was entirely user-focused, keeping multiple user types in mind. Focusing on just one type of individual would have made the app less effective and frustrating to use.

 

While many see movies as a form of escapism, others rely on them for income or as a way to connect with family and friends.

 

By narrowing the focus to two specific user groups, I was able to create a richer, more meaningful experience.

RESOLUTION

Gathering feedback and exploring next steps to take this further.

NEXT STEPS

  • Adding gamification 

  • Adding a education pathway 

  • AI assisted choices, AI taking into consideration the different types of ways for building education and network.
