"Every great film should seem new every time you see it." — Robert Bresson
It’s the final countdown. After 17 weeks of intense training, DS55 have reached the series finale. For the next 48 hours, you aren't just analysts - you are the directors. You have already conquered the technical hurdle of (hopefully) web scraping Letterboxd; now, it is time to turn that raw footage into a premier-ready Infographic Dashboard.
Transform your scraped movie data into a high-impact, story-driven infographic. Your goal is to move beyond standard reporting and create a visual narrative that captures the "vibe" of the film industry through the lens of the Letterboxd community.
The Task
- Using Tableau or Power BI.
- Define the Narrative (Scope & Analytics)
- Don’t just "show" data—tell a specific story. Before building, decide what your infographic is trying to prove. For example:
- The Indie Underdog: Which low-budget films are outperforming blockbusters in user ratings?
- The Critic/Fan Divide: Identifying the most polarizing movies of 2026.
- Genre Evolution: How has the "Popular" page changed over the last decade of cinema?
- Don’t just "show" data—tell a specific story. Before building, decide what your infographic is trying to prove. For example:
- Storyboard & Sketch (The Visual Plan)
- The 17-Week Premiere (Skills in Practice). This is your chance to use every tool in your kit.
- The Production Schedule
- 3:30 PM (Day 2): The Signal. Your dashboard must be uploaded to Tableau Public or Power BI Service and ready for presentation.
- 5:00 PM (Day 2): The Director’s Blog. As always, your final process and insights must be live on your blog.
You've spent 17 weeks preparing for this premiere. Make it a blockbuster.
Good Luck, DS55!
