CineFiles is a film database app designed to provide an engaging, journal-inspired experience for film enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from my personal film journal used during film studies, the app offers a curated and continuously updated catalog of films, with a new title added weekly.
Design Highlights:
-
Journal-Inspired Interface: Unlike traditional film databases like IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, CineFiles offers a personal and intimate format, emphasizing storytelling and thoughtful curation.
-
Type-Heavy Design: Careful attention was given to typography and copywriting to maintain the journal's personal tone, ensuring expressive and compelling content throughout.
-
Core Functions: The app combines film education and entertainment, providing users with detailed insights and engaging narratives about each featured film.
-
User Engagement: CineFiles is tailored for cinephiles who crave a deeper connection to cinema, extending their appreciation beyond the screen.
This project reimagines how film enthusiasts interact with movie databases, blending education, entertainment, and personalization into one cohesive experience.
My Film Journal
CineFiles was inspired by one of my favorite passion projects:
my film journal. What started as a fun way to engage myself in my film studies for class turned into one of my favorite active projects. With the process consisting of watching the film, taking notes, and doing research to define an overview of the film and its specs,
I marry my desire for expanding my knowledge of filmmaking
with my passion for cinema.
