Survey

As mentioned before, our proposed system is a movie recommendation system that tells its users what movies to watch and also who has suggested that movie. It also suggests its users the best place for them to watch the movie using geo-location info. Another feature of our system is that it lets its users to know who from their friends might be interested in watching the movie.

In order to estimate the usability of our system, we conducted a survey to check other people`s opinions about our system. What the results show, encourage us to work harder on our system.

About 30 people took part in our survey. 94% of them are interested in watching movies. 42.31% of them prefer to watch a movie with other people at social places and 33.33% of them prefer cinema instead of home or any other places. 59.26% of them go to the movies with their friends. Internet is the best way for 59.26% of them to choose a movie to watch and 25.93% of them use their friend recommendations. More than 95% of them show interest in telling or recommending their favourite movies to their friends. Almost all of them have Facebook accounts and more than half of them want to use Facebook as a way to tell their friends about the movies they have watched and enjoyed. Some of them use their mobile phones to search for a movie or cinema. More than 80% believe that the location of the cinema is very important for them and they want to tell their friends about the location and quality of the cinema they have been to.

    I had read this a week before, but just realised I didn’t leave a comment. Well here it is: good work, I like the stats you presented as percentages at the beginning. I was genuinely surprised by the high number (56%) of people who use the internet as a means of recommendation, either they really trust the algorithms, or don’t value their friends’ opinions. Either way it shows people generally show a high trust in computing services for recommending movies. It is good also that the survey showed a very high number of people (96%) wanted to tell their friends about movies they have watched. This shows good promise for your application, and you can use some of these statistics to show their is a real need / value provided by your application to the dragons later. Job well done, I am very pleased with the survey and how it was run and what it resulted in. I hope you as a group found out some interesting statistics / findings as well
