  • what does the letter after the scene Number mean? Like scene 39FE - okay, scene 39, but what does the Fe mean?

  • @HEXAPILOTS Typically a scene is shot from several different angles to capture the various performances. The master shot might be "Scene 39A", the close up of the protagonist "39B", the reverse of that showing the reaction of another actor "39C" and on and on. Typically the letters "I" and "O" aren't used. Run out of letters? No problem, just start using double letters.

  • Thank you very much :) so when I'm using a camera with an HDD, should I leave the roll number '1' ?

  • @TomasCimma What you might do on a project like that is have your roll number be associated with each time you download the data off the HDD.

  • I was always wondering... what does the ROLL mean? The number and the letter? What is it?

  • @TomasCimma "Roll" refers to a serial number the production company is giving to physical media; film, video tape or memory storage device. A typical 35mm film roll last seven minutes so for a feature length film it's not uncommon to use hundreds of them. Different production companies might have different schemes for identifying each roll of film used. For instance, "A207" might mean that roll of film was used in the "A" camera and it's the 207th roll of film used by the production.
