Putting the Idea into Practice (Rationale) - OUGD504

Problem

There isn’t a quick and simple way to search for and play your favourite film soundtracks. Without knowing the name of the song or the film you may not be able to find a song you have heard wishing and want to find again. Already there are systems in place to help find the track names or to play the songs but there isn’t a dedicated service to bring you this outcome seamlessly without having to search relentlessly or click through many other links to only find information rather than being able to play the song. The service would also appeal to directors and producers of films to easily find a certain genre of song to suit their projects.

Objective

Create a simple app to help movie goers and film buffs search and play their favourite tracks from films. Make an experience like no other to help directors find the right tracks for their films or simply for people to relive their favourite on screen moments with a few taps.

Audience

25-45 year olds, film goers and movie buffs.

Key Considerations

The software has to feature a database of films and songs, you have to be able to search with ease and listen to the song or soundtrack you're looking for. 

Keep the idea simple - don't add too many complicated features.
Keep the interface simple - Stick to only a few clicks to get to the final goal.
Add new searches - search by, genre, song, artist, director, film, popular
Link to other intercase - consider linking to Spotify (but how will it differ)

Overall I need to focus on the good and the bad of already existing interfaces and how I can improve it but still keep some of the features. I need to look outside of this area of music and films and study interfaces all around also on the target audience, how they like to search and how they find the concept.
