Keyword accuracy

RekindlePhoto 16 Sep 2007 21:03
I know we all want the keywords to be as accurate as possible and in many cases there is a fine line between the "auto fill keyword" categories. May be a weekly or monthly newsletter to all contributors with a few hints, suggestions, examples and what's happening could help everyone.
.
In the keyword check blocks I'm sure there may be a few of us that need clarification. Here is a few questions or statements that maybe ya'll can start with to help. Maybe even put a description in the submitter FAQ for categories would help.
.
Editorial - news worthy subjects only
Scenic other - what is not covered in other two scenic categories?
Handheld - stationary tripod shot with no camera movement?
POV Vs Profile?
Elements & effects?
Overhead Vs low or hi angle?
Archival give us some examples.
Contemporary could span many decades?
Dry and Wet Season Vs the other four seasons?
Hail should only be vids with hail showing?
An aircraft could be categorized as; transporatation, sport, technology, science, business?
.
I know none of us wants to go back and try to re-keyword hundreds of clips, maybe a little better description from ya'll (P5) on what you expect in each category.
.
Thanks for all your help and look forward to the grand opening ;)

What if the animation is a fly over or fly through? Isn't that aerial?

To gmanvideo,

The answer to your question is no. ANIMATIONS ARE NOT AERIALS,CHURCHS,MINISTRIES NOR LIFESTYLES ect.
All stock footage companies have categories for their customers convenience so they don't waste their time looking through miscategorized clips. In fact youre account would be suspended with some companies for miscategorization.
