This project is to gain experience in an essential data science skill - exploratory data analysis. This consists of critical tasks such as manipulating raw data and drawing conclusions from plots you create of the data.
Netflix! What started in 1997 as a DVD rental service has since exploded into the largest entertainment/media company by market capitalization, boasting over 200 million subscribers as of January 2021.
Given the large number of movies and series available on the platform at a CSV file, it looks like there is something to the idea that movie lengths have decreased over the past ten years! There are a few questions about this trend that we are currently unable to answer, including:
- What does this trend look like over a longer period of time?
- Is this explainable by something like the genre of entertainment?
Python skills needed for this project are:
- Filter on DataFrame (rows & columns).
- Visualizing data over a range of time by using pyplot.
The project is in the Python notebook at notebook.
