Abstract:
"Sri Lanka is a country which had a great film industry, currently dropping its market due to
multiple difficulties related to inflation as well as poor technological approaches. When
considering the recent films Sri Lankan film industry released, it is tragic that they were not
successful as expected by the professionals. Additionally, it is significant that not every movie
that is produced by Hollywood or Bollywood achieve the expected rate after the release.
Therefore, even the global film market is experiencing the same concern although high
standards and sophisticated technological strategies are leveraged in the production phase of
the film. Thus, a significant aspect of this drawback is that it is a global issue rather than a
problem exists in Sri Lankan industry and it affects the revenue, cost and time producers and
crew devote to the production of the movie. With the prediction strategy developed using
machine learning, this spotted issue can be resolved to a certain extent. In this research a
methodology to predict currently trending movie genres based on online reviews will be
presented -thus producers can produce based on that genre. Then, the probability of that movie
becoming popular among the target audience increases. In this report problem definition and
the background, the previous research findings and the research gap will be discussed along
with the project objectives, aims and scope. Moreover, this paper covers the project delivery
plan as well as methodologies utilized."
