Analyzing horror movie profits
October 23, 2018
Hint: What’s the source of the data; what does the row represent; how many observations?; what are the variables; and what do they mean? The source of data is a website named githubusercontent. Each row represents a movie, a couple of movies that I saw he had on there were Iron Man 2 and Captain America: Winter Soldier. There are 7527 observations, some of the variables are distributor, genre, name and production budget. They show how to seperate the data in different categories.
Hint: For example, importing data, understanding the data, data exploration, etc. Dave approached each step by knowing what he was doing as well as trial and error. If he didn’t know what he was doing he could figure it out.
I saw a few things that we did in class that Dave does, he important data from a website which we learned in class as well as learn how to use and analyze graphs.
The major finsding in the analysis is that most of the other genres have decreasing slopes while horro movies have an incresing slope which means, they are cracking the formula to low budget movie success.
The most interesting thing that I like in the analysis is that horror has the lowest budget out of the five movie catergories he choose to analyze.
