🎬 Introduction to Movie Database Project

Nick introduces the final knowledge activity for part two of the programmers guide, where the objective is to create a movie database. This database will allow users to manage their movie collection, add movies, and write reviews. It will also enable users to view movies based on certain characteristics like genre or average rating. The demonstration begins in Visual Studio Code, where Nick sets up the project and explains the features of the application, such as adding movies, viewing all movies, listing movies by genre, and listing movies by desired rating. The main menu is also introduced, which allows users to navigate through the application's functionalities.

Keywords

💡Movie Database

A movie database is a system designed to store, manage, and organize information about films. In the context of the video, the movie database is a central theme as it is being created to manage users' watch lists, allowing them to add movies and reviews. The database enables users to view all movies they've added or filter by specific characteristics such as genre or rating.

💡Add Movies

Adding movies to the database is a key feature that allows users to include films they are interested in. In the script, Nick demonstrates this by adding movies like 'Bolt', 'Bolto', and 'Cats' to the database, showcasing how users can expand their personal collection within the system.

💡Reviews

Reviews are user-generated comments that provide feedback on a movie. In the video, Nick adds reviews to the movies, such as 'I really like the dog movie' for 'Bolt' and 'cats is amazing 10 out of 10' for 'Cats'. These reviews not only offer personal opinions but also contribute to the movie's average rating within the database.

💡Genre

Genre refers to a category of movies based on their style, content, or target audience. The script mentions genres like 'action' and 'fantasy', which are used to classify movies within the database. Users can list movies by genre, as seen when Nick filters to see only fantasy movies, resulting in 'Cats' being displayed.

💡Rating

Rating is a numerical score given to a movie, reflecting its quality or the user's enjoyment. In the script, Nick assigns ratings to movies, such as a '9' for 'Bolt' and a '4' for 'Bolto'. These ratings help users filter movies based on their desired quality level, as demonstrated when Nick lists movies with a rating above '7'.

💡Main Menu

The main menu is the primary interface where users can access various functionalities of the application. In the video, the main menu is mentioned as a way to navigate back to the primary options, such as adding movies, viewing all movies, or filtering by genre or rating.

💡Alter Details

Altering details refers to the ability to modify the information of a movie already in the database. Nick uses this feature to change 'Bolt's genre from 'action' to 'sci-fi', demonstrating the flexibility of the database to update movie information as needed.

💡Delete Movie

Deleting a movie from the database is the process of removing a film entry. In the script, Nick decides that 'Bolto' is not a good movie and chooses to delete it, which removes it from the list of viewable movies, showcasing the database's capability to manage and declutter the user's collection.

💡User Interface

The user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between users and a program occur. The video script describes a UI that allows Nick to interact with the movie database through commands like adding movies, viewing details, and deleting entries, highlighting the importance of a clear and functional UI for user engagement.

💡Development

Development in this context refers to the process of creating and refining the movie database application. The script concludes with a wish of 'good luck with your development', implying that the video is aimed at developers or users who might be building or using such a database system.

Transcripts

hi Nick here again for the last test

knowledge activity for part two of the

programers guide in this activity we'll

be creating a movie database to manage

the users watch movies by letting them

add movies to their database as well as

ADD reviews for those movies they'll

also be able to view all the movies they

have added or view the movies of a

certain characteristic like their genre

or their average rating so let's take a

look about how it should look once we're

finished so heading into vs code right

we're going to build by going SK

not that pram

program perfect I don't know why there's

such a big gap but that's okay right let

me just make sure we can see everything

putting that there perfect so what we're

going to do is we're going to run

program and let's get started so welcome

to the movie database please enter your

name my name is Nick right and then

we're going to be able to add movies

view all movies list movies with a genre

list movies with desired rating and Main

menu right the main menu just returns to

the main menu but we need to add some

movies first so let's add some movies so

first off let's add bolt right and I'll

say this is a dog movie right this dog

movie is an action movie so then what

we're going to do is going to add

another movie and I'm going to call this

one

bolto which is another movie but this

one's not a dog

movie about

horses uh we'll also make this an action

movie just so we've got a couple of the

same genre and then what we're also

going to do is we'll add one more movie

right and this time we'll add the movie

Cats not a dog movie this is about

cats right and now let's say that cats

is a fancy movie right because it's

about humans being cats and that's not

that's not realistic so now we can view

all our movies right we can see Bolt

bolto and cats right and I can choose

let's say bolt right I can do some

certain things with it right I can view

it I can alter it I can add some reviews

I can delete some movies right but first

what we're going to do is we're going to

add some reviews to each of these movies

so we can test out some functionality so

let's add a review right and then's

going to ask what's the review

description I really like the dog movie

right I gave it a nine right and then

I'm going to view all movies again go to

bolto and I'm going to add a review

again but this time I'm going to go um I

didn't like the horse movie and I gave a

four right and then lastly we'll go one

more so Pats and we'll say want to add a

review and this time

cats is amazing 10 out of 10 right I'm

going for the 10 cool so now we've got

some things of specific genres and we

got some things of our desired ratings

so first let's have a look at our genres

so if we look at just fantasy movies

right by pressing three we'll only see

cats right and then we can select cats

and we can do something with it like

view its details if I go to view movies

with a gen and I choose action right

we've got both bolt and bolto which we

both added right so let's go the bolt

right and again I can view some

details but we can also view movies

above a desired rating so we know that

we gave um bolto a four uh the other

movie an eight and the other movie a 10

right so what we can do is we can say

hey at least seven right we've got Bolt

and cats the two movies that we rated

highly let's just say that we actually

got the details for bolt wrong though

right so what we can do is we alter

these details and say hey this is

actually bolt to the second dog movie

which I don't actually think exists but

that's okay right and this time it's not

an acttion movie it's actually a sci-fi

film right so now if we go to um list

movies with a genre right we can see

that if we list by sci-fi right we've

got Bolt two now um and if I go to where

is it view with a genre and then I check

action we've only got bolto lastly let's

say bolto right it was a really really

bad movie we never want anyone to see it

again we can delete it right and we can

delete it by pressing delete movie and

now it won't show up in our view or

movies we've only got cats and doto so

that's everything so what we'll do is

I'll just do that and we'll delete cats

as well why not right VI all movies

we've only got bolto left and bolto

let's add one more review and say horse

movie is

good

and okay that's everything good luck

with your development
