About Reel Ratings

The goal of this project is to predict the movie rating of a movie title entered by the user. Our prediction relies on IMDb and TMDb datasets, using our statistical model. We also implemented a rudimentary algorithm that allows the model to learn and improve from past predictions.

Aspects

• TheMovieDb API -movie parameters (actors, directors, budget etc.)
• IMDb dataset from AWS -ratings from previous movies
• Data Algorithms (weighting actors vs. directors vs. budget…)
• Query data about movie title or movie id to get parameters
• Query previous ratings of rating parameters
• Storing data to be accessed and used from different parts of the program
• Statistical analysis on ratings (Data algorithms, linear recursion)
• An interface/web app to take input and display results

Parameters in Use/Planned

• Average movie rating
• Actor movie ratings
• Directors
• Producers
• Studio
• Writers
• Genre

• Budget
• Cinematographer
• Music Composer
• More to Come...
