File Naming The City of Carlsbad video footage library contains thousands of clips that are searchable by data. To make It easy to find a particular clip it is important that they are named consistently and efficiently. Please follow the instructions below when naming clips for the file footage library. Please transcode all raw files to 1920x1080 ProRes422LT for editing and archiving. Naming Tape/Cards All tapes and cards are entered into a cataloging system. Please make sure the tape or card number (x of x) is listed in notes. The following information is listed on all media. Naming clips Every shoot has a name that closely conforms to the project name. Examples have been provided below to show the relationship between the project name, location and how files are named. Keep the name as brief as possible to make it easier to identify clips in editing. Projects will not be considered complete until clips are labeled using these file naming conventions. Name of shoot Name ofthe project: Crosswalk Safety Event Subject ofthe shoot: School crossing guard interview and b-roll Location Calavera Elementary School Date Date/dates of shoots in notes Description of video in time code order Examples: 01:01:15 - Kids cross street, car speeds through light 01:01:30 - Crossing Guard interview - describe question (i.e. John Smith - crossing guard responsibilities) Videographer Who shot the footage - last name and first initial please (in notes) and if possible in the camera metadata i.e. SmithW_09_03_14 Additional Notes: Please note any additional shots that do not pertain to the project, but were acquired while on the shoot. For example, trail with flowers in bloom Please keep the names of clips as short and detailed as possible in this order. Naming Order: Example: Project Prefix - Description of Action, ANGLE Crosswalk Safety - guard crosses with kids MS The project prefix can also be the location of the shoot. For example, if you're recording B-Roll of airplanes at the airport, Airport - jet takes off MS would be the file name. Example: Ifthe project name is "Crosswalk Safety" there is no need to include crosswalks in the clip description as it is already listed. Crossing guard would be "guard" because it's included in the project prefix. This will help to keep clip names shorter. When there are multiple takes of the same action, add a number to differentiate. Only clip out the best useable footage for delivery and provide the best two takes ofthe action. When naming clips use WS = wide shot, MS = medium shot and CU = close up. Please use the descriptors below - do not use symbols i.e. (/<>\) as they do not read in searches and can result in corrupt clips. Rack Focus = RF Over the Shoulder = OTS Pan Right = PR Pan Left = PL Tilt UP = TU Tilt Down - TD Push/Zoom in = Zl Push/Zoom out = ZO Interview = INTVW People = ppl Camera = cam With = w Interior = INT Exterior = EXT Foreground = FG Background = BG 14 Donna Heraty From: Sent: To: Cc: Donna Heraty Thursday, September 03, 2015 2:15 PM 'steve@stevechapple.com' Kira Linberg Subject: Form 700 -Conflict of Interest -CORRECTION Dear Consultant: Regarding your agreement with the City of Carlsbad for video services- If your agreement states: Contractor shall file a Conflict of Interest Statement with the City Clerk in accordance with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad Conflict of Interest Code.
