Conclusion

The reason behind creating the prototype at and early stage in the research was to aid the research by evaluating what was missing and should be included and considered to be used on the web site.

1. Preview Trailers
Option to sign up to RSS feeds to get trailers and film information sent to the user by vodcast or podcast. The file could then be sent to friends, promoting the fims and the website. Users could tailor what they receive by selecting what genre they are interested in or specific films they are interested in.

A function to download images, ring tones and movie music from films could be introduced. This could be a way to create revenue and build momentum towards films.

The option to read the synopsis should be included with the certificate rating shown aswell. Other general information could be accesable like who directed the movie, who stars in the movie and if there is a soundtrack to the movie.

2. Reviews
A mash up that gathers reviews and comments from other sources could be used.

Users could create a profile that can be viewed by other users. Other users could then see if comments on films support their interests or not by what genre, music, favourite films etc they are into. Users would also gain a reputation and have trusted users that they listen to. This would be initiated in filtering the reviews and maybe having a trusted list where a user only reads reviews by a certain group of people.

3. Cinema Search
Consider using Google Maps to plot cinemas on the map in the local area. Each plot would then be linkable to the website in its tab. Once the cinema site has been accessed, the user could then purchase tickets.

4. Future Releases
As mentioned in the preview trailers section. RSS feeds could be introduced so that users could sign up to recieved vodcasts on upcoming movie releases. If a user signed up for a particular genre then they could just be sent rather than the user having to request them via the website. The vodcast could then be sent to friends building momentum to the film.
