In the autumn of 2009, students at AHO conducted a 6 week task exploring new social experiences for web-based movie renting. See more student projects for RECORD here.

The way we put movies in genres is a nice way of getting an overview and navigating through the enormous amount of films that exists. But if you have a special interest in a certain area, such as an actor/actress, a special scenery, a director or something osbcure like japanese movies from the 60’s, browsing through “action” or “drama” won’t get you very far.

The Collections tool allows you to collect a specific type of movies with people that share your interests. By creating or joining movie collections, you can quickly build up a library of the films you are really interested in. You can be a member of several collections, so if you like movies that are shot in Paris, movies where people look cool smoking cigarettes and documentaries, you can explore the content of each collection to find or add what suits you best.
