Research - Dating apps


In the script for our group's film opening, we incorporated the use of a dating app. So to ensure we were planning this realistically, I did some research into how dating apps function, which helped us present it accurately.

It seems the "make an account" process is fairly simple. An account can be created with an email, number or apple ID. Although I'm not sure if there is an restriction as of yet.

 In order to get others matched for our character, we have to make a profile. According to the video, it says, there needs to be a clear picture of someone for the profile picture. For this, we will most likely use a stock photo or a photo of someone of age (with their permission). For the public profile, the video says 3 to 5 pictures is best. Since we're only using the app for a few scenes, I don't think this part is necessary. Now, in order to get people recommended to our account, we must list our characters interests. We might just put something common like "dogs" and "movies" for this part. 

Lastly, the account should be finished and ready to go. From here we are now able to swipe left and right on people. 

Note: Swiping right means yes, swiping left means no. If both individuals swiped right, it's a match. But we aren't going this far with our scene.
