Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
Experienced difficulty with titleLabel and SynopsisLabel loading the correct strings into placements when simulating the app. Rectified by examining "outlets" under "Connection Inspector". Noticed connections on titleLabel were incorrect. Had selected the same outlet for two different labels when ctrl-dragging. Had not intended to. Experienced similar issue in the prework assignment, good thing to keep in mind. Experienced difficulty with the size of the Movie Cells. Rectified by going to "TableView" scope and unselecting "Automatic", and changing to static pixel height.
