Basic Functions first

I'm still a little conflicted on how it should look.
I like the idea of having a panel on the left with the larger picture concepts on it but i feel like this will lead to a lot of blank space so I'm debating putting this section up top with the browse filters. but keeping it out to the side makes it easy to add another function later (after finishing my story board, i decided to add another button there).


What my assignment 1 sample seemed to be most concerned with was being able to both browse around when they have no idea what they want, and yet also find the specific movie they want if they do know what they want.
With that in mind i tried to think of ways that people might browse through a store as i designed the interface. I started with the basics of genre and alphabet. As i type this out i can now think of two other sorting methods, rating, and (if applicable) price.

The other debate i was having was whether or not to do a double column of movies in the presentation panel. the story board uses a single column and has whitespace, but the paper dimensions more resemble widescreen which not all monitors are.
