The brief
Have you ever had to check the warnings before a movie? Have you had to cover your 7-year-old cousin’s eyes cause Game of Thrones isn’t just about dragons? Ever had to explain why you can’t watch Euphoria?
People are often limited to what films they can watch due to PTSD, phobias and sensory/psychological reasons. This can ruin your movie night and create uncomfortable viewing experiences. Current tools are outdated and rarely address the problem in real time.
The problem
to tackle this issue i came up with Hop-to-Miss, an extension browser with the aim of making movie-watching more accessible. Collaborating with Doesthedogdie.com, it combines crowdsourcing and AI to allow users the opportunity to have real time content warnings while watching movies.
To make the user experience easier, all triggers are grouped into five categories (Sensory issues, Physical/emotional harm, Sexual content, Phobias, Animal harm), each represented by a unique icon (shown in top left corner). Icons are animated to make navigating the website more engaging and enjoyable.
to make this experience more calming i used round shapes and wavy patterns to give a more calming atmosphere, as well as blue (represents both calming and trustworthiness).
