Tagging questions

Hey all experienced stock shooters,

I have some short questions:

1.Do I have to check the "editorial" box if the clip contains recognizable faces or trademarks and I do not have a model release?

2.Does it make sense to check "contains people" if the people are so tiny that they can neither be regognized nor they are important to the subject?

3.A "point of view" shot is a shot where you reproduce somebody elses view, e.g. how someone would look at his hands while cutting some vegetables. It is not applicable if it´s just a shot from a normal angle, right?

Thanks in advance!
Stefan

good questions that should be answered by P5 not just other submitters.

Hi! To answer your questions...

1) No, the editorial checkbox is a category which you should check if the clip has news or documentary value. The "for editorial use only" message is something that the curator will add to the clip, so nothing you need to worry about.

2) No, only if the people are prominent in the image

3) Yes, POV is reproducing a vantage point. So, for instance, a camera tracking down a hallway. Here's a good example of a POV shot:

We will be making some changes to categories and other metadata soon, and will be clarifying all of the terms we use.

Thanks for the clarifications! That makes things easier.

Yes, a short indication of how to use correctly all your terms, categories and so on would be very helpful and prevent "misuse".

Greetings,
Stefan
