I finished a working image carousel that makes api calls to movie database to populate the slide portion of the carousel. I originally intended to either build a 2D or 3D dynamic carousel from scratch, but proved to be difficult of a task to finish under time constraint (especially when we want glitch-free components). So I borrowed a bootstrap carousel component, made stylistic adjustments, then had it pop up a movie trailer (as a youtube video) on click originally but switched to redirecting to a moviecard component that displays the info of the movie that the poster corresponds to. Looking back, I should have just used a carousel component from bootstrap and worked on other features of the website since the website is more than just a carousel and needs other components that need to be implemented and tested.

Chi: I finished up the integration from backend to the frontend. There are still a lot of bugs in the application, but I fixed most of them up to the final demo time. Future goals: I still need to implement the contact-user-by-sending-email feature in the Review Section. Maybe add more API calls to the movie database for actors/actresses.

Karina: I worked mostly on improving and adding UI/UX design features for a visually pleasing and coherent user experience, as well as finding and fixing some bugs. I think in the future I want to play around more with the API to add more information to each movie card, and given some of the questions asked during our demo, I want to find a way to integrate user reviews into the rating/favourite count of the respective movie page (without completely copying all the movies into the database)
