COMP 2406 – Fall 2020 Movie Database Project

Movie Database

Project Background

The goal of this project will be to create a web application similar to the Internet Movie

Database. Your application will maintain a database of movie information, including

things like the movie title, release year, writers, actors, etc. Your site will support regular

users, who will be capable of browsing all of the information on the site and adding

movie reviews. You will also need to support contributing users, who will be able to add

new people/movies. The site will also offer movie recommendations based on a user’s

data. Within this document, the term ‘people’ is used to refer to people that are part of a

movie (actor, writer, director, etc.), while the term ‘user’ refers to a user of your

application. The following sections will outline the minimum requirements of the movie

database project. You are encouraged to ask questions to clarify the requirements and

constraints of the project.

Provided Data and Assumptions

The provided project zip file contains several files with initial movie data retrieved from

The Open Movie Database. Each of these files contain data with the same format,

which you can use to initialize the data for your project. The only difference is the

number of movies contained in the file (10, 100, 1000, 2500). It is advisable to use a

smaller file for your initial development. Your final submission will be required to work

with the 2500 movie dataset. For the purposes of this project, you can assume that

actor/director/writer names are unique. If movie X lists “Norman Cates” as an actor and

movie Y lists “Norman Cates” as a director, you can assume these refer to the same

person.

Technology Constraints

The server code for your project must use Node.js. All client resources required by your

project must be served by your server. Your client must work well within an up-to-date

Chrome browser, which is what will be used to evaluate your project’s frontend. Your

project’s data must be stored using a local MongoDB database (i.e., you cannot use the

Atlas cloud database service). Your final submission must be able to be completely

installed using the command npm install. Only approved modules may be used.

You may assume any modules mentioned in the lectures or notes are allowed. If you

are unsure if something is allowed or would like to see if something could be allowed,

you should ask for clarification before proceeding. Any additional software, modules,

frameworks, etc. you use must be able to be installed using your NPM install script.

User Accounts

The application must provide a way for users to create new accounts by specifying a

username and password. Your account creation page must only require a username

and password (i.e., no email, confirm password, etc.) and should not have any security

constraints such as requiring passwords to contain special characters (these are good

things to add in a real application but make grading hundreds of projects a hassle).

Within your application, usernames must be unique. A user should be able to log in and

out of the system using their username and password. Within a single browser instance,

only a single user should be able to be logged in at one time (i.e., user A and user B

cannot log in to the system within the same browser window). All newly created

accounts should be considered regular users until the user manually upgrades

themselves to a contributing user.

When a user is logged in, they should be able to view and manage information about

their account. The application must provide a way for the user to:

1. Change between a ‘regular’ user account and a ‘contributing’ user account. If

a user changes account types, it should only affect their ability to carry out an

action in the future. That is, anything created by a user while they have a

contributing user account should remain unaffected if the user switches back

to a regular account.

2. View and manage the people they follow. The user should be able to navigate

to the personal page of any person they have followed. The user should be

able to stop following any person that they have followed.

3. View and manage the other users they follow. The user should be able to

navigate to the user page of any user they have followed. The user should be

able to stop following any user that they have followed.

4. View the list of movies that they have watched (i.e., the user’s ‘watch list’) and

remove any movies from this list. See the Viewing Movies section for

specification of adding movies to the watch list.

5. View recommended movies. These recommendations should be made based

on what information your web application knows about the user, such as what

movies they have reviewed or what people/users they have followed. You do

not need to worry about the overall quality of your recommendation but

should be able to provide justification for the design of your algorithm (e.g.,

similar genres, actors, etc.).

6. View any notifications that they have received about people or users that they

have followed.

7. Search for movies by title, actor name, and/or genre keyword, at minimum.

Additional types of search can also be included. The user must be able to

navigate to the movie page for any of the movie’s contained in the search

results. By default, the search results should show only 10 movie results and

pagination must be supported (i.e., next/previous buttons to navigate through

remaining search results).

Viewing Movies

When viewing a specific movie, a user must be able to:

1. See the basic movie information, including: the title, release year, average

review rating, runtime, and plot.

2. See each of the genre keywords for the movie and allow the user to navigate

to search results that contain movies with the same genre keyword.

3. See the director, writer, and actors the movie has, and be able to navigate

directly to each person’s page.

8. See a list of similar movies to this one and allow the user to navigate to the

page for any of those movies. You do not need to worry about the overall

quality of your similarity measure but should be able to provide justification for

the design of your algorithm (e.g., similar genres, actors, etc.).

9. Add the movie to their ‘watched list’. This list will be viewable from the user’s

profile. The user’s profile must support allowing the user to remove the movie

from the watched list. You may also allow them to do so from the movie page.

4. See movie reviews that have been added for the movie.

5. Add a basic review by specifying a score out of 10.

6. Add a full review by specifying a score out of 10, a brief summary, and a full

review text.

Viewing People (directors, writers, actors)

When viewing the page for a particular person, the user must be able to:

1. See a history of all of this person’s work. Each movie entry must allow the

user to navigate to that movie’s page.

2. The history of the person’s work should be separated into categories for

directed, written, and acted in. If the user has not directed, wrote, or acted in

a movie (e.g., they have not acted in a movie), then that category should not

be shown on the page.

3. See a list of frequent collaborators of this person. For the purposes of this

project, the list of frequent collaborators should be the top 5 people the

person has worked with the most according to the data stored within your

application.

4. Choose to follow this person. If a user follows a person, the user should

receive a notification any time a new movie that includes this person is added

to the database.

Viewing Other Users

When viewing the page for another user, the current user must be able to:

1. See a list of all of the reviews this user has made and be able to read each

full review.

2. See a list of all of the people this user has followed and be able to navigate to

each person’s page.

3. See the user’s ‘watch list’ and navigate to any of the movies listed.

4. Choose to follow this user. If a user X follows a user Y, user X should receive

a notification any time user Y creates a new review.

Contributing Users

If a user’s account type is set to be a contributing user, the user should be able to do

everything a regular user can do and also:

1. Navigate to an “Add Person” page and add a new person to the database by

specifying their name. If the name already exists, the user should not be able

to add the new person.

2. Navigate to an “Add Movie” page and add a new movie by specifying the title,

release year, runtime, plot, genre keywords, and at least one writer, director,

and actor. The entire movie creation process must be done on a single page.

The page must give the user a way to dynamically search for people within

the database to add to the movie (e.g., using AJAX). The user should not be

required to type in the full name of the person, but instead should be able to

add the person as a writer, director, or actor directly from the search results.

Project Report

You will also be required to submit a project report with your final submission that must

include:

1. Detailed steps explaining how to install, initialize, and run your database and

server. You must include a database initialization script with your submission that

COMP 2406 – Fall 2020 Movie Database Project

will create a new MongoDB database from the provided movie data JSON files.

This will ensure that a database with the data structure required by your project

can be created during the grading process. If you have not used MongoDB, you

should include any file resources your server requires to start and load the

movie/user/etc. data.

2. Discussion and critique of your overall design. See the ‘Overall Design and

Implementation Quality’ section of the marking scheme for ideas on what to

include in your analysis. You should also consider some of the key concerns of

web application development that we have discussed in the class, such as

scalability, latency, etc.

3. Description of your movie recommendation algorithm.

4. Description of your similar movie algorithm.
