Film Project: A survey for all MoFos

As some of you will already be aware, I'm currently in my last year of university. As part of my final year I have to do an individual project relating to my degree, Business Information Systems. I have chosen my own project, with the title relating to films, in order to help motivate myself when it comes to doing work, and it also means I can get some useful insights from this forum, hopefully

My titles is

"Discovering the relationships between different films through storing and linking visual data found in images."

I have some screencap-comparisons, if you like, you can use them:

March comes in like a lion vs. Adrift in Tokyo

Stellet Licht and Ordet

What user interactive elements would you like to see on such a site?

A rip-off section with a bunch of screens from Tarantino films and films he ripped-off.

Do you have any additional thoughts on such a system?

I don't know if this system is only theoretical for the sake of your studies, or if you will be implementing it in the future.

How often do you watch films?

Very often kind of applies to me too but lately i've been very busy so it really depends on what time of year, during the Summer i'll fall into the Very often category. So at the moment Quite often if i can help it Very often, i bolded the former but use the latter for me if you want.

Would you say that you are interested in the history of films?

No
Not really
I have some interest
Yes
Extremely interested (I'm always looking to learn more about film)

Absolutely, its mostly why Mark F is my favourite movie poster here, same with Holden.

Do you consider cinematography to be an important element when watching films?

No
Of quite low importance (I'll notice it, but I care much more about other things)
Of medium importance
Yes
Of key importance

I'm going to say of medium importance here because there are films i love that give no importance themselves to Cinematography. Will say it is a big plus for a film though.

What user interactive elements would you like to see on such a site?
The obvious one is the option for users to submit a still image and ask what it reminds others of. For instance the shots of circular ducts in Alien when Dallas is crawling through the vents is similar to some of the Psycho shower images.

Do you have any additional thoughts on such a system?
I think it would be essential not to make it dry and boring; or hard to use. This is something that could actually assist filmmakers at ever level.
