The scope here is massive and I think that's the whole point.
Start by clarifying the goal and scope of the movies product within Facebook's ecosystem, then segment users and identify their needs. Prioritize features based on impact and feasibility, and outline how you would measure success and drive adoption.
Pro tip: Anchor your design in Facebook's core strengths—social graph and engagement—rather than trying to replicate existing streaming services. Show awareness of content licensing and rights management as a key constraint.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the objective: is this for discovery, social watching, or content creation? Define the target audience and how it fits with Facebook's mission.
Identify key user segments (e.g., casual viewers, film enthusiasts, social sharers) and their pain points. Use Facebook's data to understand existing movie-related behavior.
Brainstorm features that leverage Facebook's social graph (e.g., watch parties, friend recommendations, reviews). Prioritize using a framework like RICE or impact/effort.
Establish metrics such as engagement (watch time, shares), retention, and monetization (ads, transactions). Consider both user and business goals.
Outline launch plan: how to acquire users, partnerships with studios, and integration with existing Facebook features (News Feed, Groups, Messenger).
