Movie Party
The Amazon Prime Movie Party project aims to integrate group chats and friends directly into the streaming platform to enhance the viewing experience for its users. Additionally, the project includes the integration of IMDb's open-source API to enable users to view and use IMDb features within the platform while watching shows or movies.
Design plan
The project encompasses the following main components: Integration of Social Interactions: Development of a real-time group chat feature directly within the Amazon Prime platform. Seamless interaction with friends and fellow viewers to share opinions, comments, and reactions during the viewing process. Elimination of the need for a separate device for texting, streamlining the viewing experience. IMDb Integration: Utilization of IMDb's open-source API to integrate IMDb features directly into the Amazon Prime platform. Access to IMDb ratings, reviews, cast details, and related content without leaving the streaming platform. Enhancing the depth of content understanding and enabling informed viewing decisions. The integrated solution addresses the identified pain points of users, ensuring a cohesive and engaging experience by combining social interactions and IMDb functionalities with the viewing platform. The project was developed with a user-centric approach, aiming to create a holistic streaming environment that caters to the evolving preferences of Gen Z and millennials.
Streamlined Movie Selection Process
During the movie selection phase, users have the option to watch trailers and share them with their friends. Invitations can be extended to others to join the group, fostering inclusivity. Once every user in the movie group confirms the movie choice, the movie begins seamlessly.
Flexible Chat Interface Options
Users can access the movie party chat through a transparent overlay sidebar without leaving the movie screen. Additionally, they can minimize the movie screen to engage with the chat, explore other movies, and read movie reviews.
