Project Overview

This data analysis project uses TMDB movie datasets to explore viewer preferences, genre popularity, and movie ratings trends. We analyze patterns and relationships in the film industry to uncover insights about what makes movies successful and appealing to audiences.

Problem Statement

Our project aims to answer key questions about the film industry:

  • How do genre ratings vary across different viewer segments?
  • Does runtime influence viewer perception and ratings?
  • What patterns exist in viewer behavior and preferences?
  • How do budget and revenue relate to critical and audience reception?

Dataset Description

We analyzed two primary datasets from Kaggle:

  • movies_metadata.csv: Contains information about movies including budget, revenue, genres, languages, and ratings
  • ratings.csv: Contains user ratings for various movies

These datasets were cleaned, merged, and processed to create our visualization datasets.
