The talk I gave at Uncubed NYC 2015. Goes over the different dimensions of a data science project, and shows the entire process through the example of a passion project: Movie vs Movie.
What are your top ten favorite movies of all time? This is a very difficult question. But why? I explain the challenges of measuring how much we like movies, books, songs, or products; combining insights from diverse sources like the Netflix Prize, Duncan Watts' social experiments, or the beginnings of Facebook. The better we get at measuring and ranking levels of enjoyment, the better we can customize websites, sort search results, find other people with similar tastes, and recommend products, so can we overcome these challenges? Drumroll... Yes, we can.
While Movie vs Movie answers a personal question I'm passionate about, it gives a lot of insights for the entertainment industry, and the backbone process for answering business questions is the same.

14. This film is shocking in both presentation and topic and why Natural Born Killers was made more shocking by the presentation of the violence rather than the violence itself Reservoir Dogs was considered shocking but a lot of the violence was off screen The amount of deaths and injuries in Kill Bill Volume 1 could have made it shocking but the blood spurting out etc made it less shocking
18. We know that Team America is not real as it uses puppets but it is still shocking The Blair Witch Project was more shocking as people thought that it was real Seeing Leonardo Dicaprio treading water on the Titanic extras ruined it for me Reception Theory – being in the cinema/caught in the moment and believing in what you see creates shocks Some films appeal/ play on emotions which shocks us
19. Shocking Cinema Shocks can be created for a variety of different reasons: subject matter; cinematic devices; reception; personal experiences If your full attention is given to a film then it would be easier to produce shocks in an audience Directions and film makers are constantly coming up with different/new ways to shock Extreme violence is not the only way to shock When directors make films outside of their field this can produce shocks as can actors Know This !
