AS A reader and movie watcher
I WANT to look up book and movie recommendations and compare the two mediums
SO THAT I can find information about authors/directors, decide if I am more interested in watching the movie or reading the book, and be directed to links to purchase the book or watch the trailer of the movie that interests me.
GIVEN a media search dashboard with a form input
WHEN I input a title into the search box
THEN I am presented with a selection of information for books and movies.
WHEN I scroll through the selection of books displayed
THEN I am presented with the specific book title, the author, the synopsis, publication date, average user rating, page count, and access to purchase the book through Google Books.
WHEN I scroll through the selection of movies displayed
THEN I am presented with the specific movie title, the director, the synopsis, IMDb rating, the parental rating, date of release, and access to watch the trailer through IMDb.
WHEN I click the reset button
THEN the search input is cleared, and the displayed book and movie results are removed, returning the UI to its initial state.
