Avast ye, this be a machine-translated text an’ may contain errors, aye!
The tasks be done in a Word document an’ delivered alongside the rest o’ the Map Structure module on Teams.
A map be treated as one project, an’ the structure be essential t’ create overview both fer yerself, or fer workin’ in groups.
Task 1 - Folder Names
Take a stand on the following folder names for a school assignment’s working folder. The assignment be named “The First Film Task - Interview”.
Do the folders have good names, aye? Justify yer answer for each folder. Have ye any suggestions for a better folder name, perhaps?
# Date of Interview Assignment /
# Project One for Films /
# Schoolwork on Filming /
# August Fifteenth Twenty-Eight - The Interview /
# The Class Motion Picture /
Task 2 - Subfolders
Create a list o’ the subfolders ye’d be usin’ for the task in task 1.
Ye can write folders like this:
# The name of ye folder / Me own Subfolder /
# Mapp navn/Mi Undemappe/Undemappe2/
# Mapp navn/Mi Undemappe2/
Sort by data types
A motion picture be made o’ many parts. A film will almost always have some form o’ prep work, idea developin’, raw booty, visual effects, sound, music, project files, an’ all that!
Not keen on the moving pictures, eh?
Ye can choose t’ create a folder structure fer another type o’ project, like a website or an app, if ye wish.
NB: In the art o’ programm’n, a folder structure’ll affect the flow o’ information in yer projects. One should be extra mindful o’ followin’ good folder an’ namin’ conventions when workin’ on developin’ projects.
Task 3 - The Newest Treasure
Help! The film meant for delivery be havin’ different versions, can ye find the newest one?

# 5. Test export please make work.mov (Created on August 15, 2008 at 1:12 PM)
Set a name to it, aye!
Have ye crafted the file ye be deliverin’? Make it clear in the file name! Some workplaces will demand ye follow a naming convention, which might be that file names include date, technical specifications, project name, and author.
Perchance ye might one day need to deliver two files o’ the same film, but with different technical specifications?
Task 4 - Sensible Names
Take a gander at the file names in task 3 - what namin’ convention could’ve been used to make clear the latest version? Be there more ways conventions could be used to show extra versions? Is there anythin’ else one could’ve done?
Alphabetical sorting and dates
A file explorer will usually organize folders and files alphabetically. If ye use dates in yer naming convention, it ain’t certain the file explorer’ll sort ‘em right, since numbers also get sorted in alphabetical order.
Example of how things might be lined up with a dd-mm-yyyy format:
11-08-2008 Folder Name
12-01-2008 Folder Name
13-05-2008 Folder Name
The same holds true for numerals; where 15 would come before 2, 3, 4, etc., unless ye start countin’ from index 0. Use prefixes like 01, 02, ... to keep yer treasure trove tidy.
Task 5 - Why, Aye?
Why be it wise to use a good folder structure, ye ask?
Bonus Question: How can ye be certain ye’ll find yer files 10 years after last workin’ with ‘em, savvy?
