This doth be a machine-wrought text which may contain errors!
The tasks are to be wrought in a Word document and delivered alongside the remainder of the Mappestructure module on Teams.
A folder shall be treated as one project, and the structure is essential to create overview both for thyself, or for work in groups.
Task the First - Folder Names
Consider these folder names for a school assignment’s working directory. The assignment is titled “The First Film Task - Interview”.
Do these folders bear good names? Justify thine answer for each folder. Hast thou perchance suggestions for a better folder name?
# Inntektskilde for intervjuet /
# Prosjekt med filmproduksjon /
# Skoleoppgave om filmen /
# Dato: 15.-august-2008 - Intevjue /
# skolefilmen /
Task the Second - Subfolders
Compose a list of subfolders thou wouldst employ for the task in task the first.
Thou mayest write folders thus:
The name of the folder / My Subfolder /
The name of the folder / My Subfolder /Subfolder2 /
The name of the folder / Another Subfolder /

A motion picture doth comprise of many parts. A film shall near always possess some manner of preparation, ideation, raw material, visual effects, sound, music, project files, and the like.
Art thou no fan o’ films?
Thou mayst choose to create folder structures for other manner of projects, such as a webpage or an application.
MARK: In programming, folder structure hath influence upon the flow o’ information within thy project’s bounds. One should be most attentive t’ followeth good conventions f’ folders nomenclature when engaged in development undertakings.
Task the Third - The Newest File
Hark! The motion picture which must be delivered doth possess divers versions; pray, canst thou discover the most recent?
1. Exports (1) copy.mov (Created on the fifteenth day of August, in the year two thousand eight, at thirteen hours past noon)
2. Motionpicture.mov (Born upon the ninth morn of August, ere sixteen bells tolled from the tower)
3. Picture v2.mov (First seen by light on the tenth instant of August, when five and fifty minutes had passed since dawn's fifth bell)
4. NEW VERSION USE THIS.mov (Made manifest upon the thirteenth moon-day of this summer month, just after three o'clock post meridiem)
5. Trial transmittal pray make it work.mov (Forged during our present age, some twelvemonths hence, as recorded to posterity)
Set a name upon it!
Hast thou crafted the file thou dost deliver? Make it clear in the file’s name! Some workplaces shall require thee to follow a naming convention, which may be that file names include date, technical specifications, project name and author.
Perchance thou shalt one day need to deliver two files of the same film, yet with diverse technical specifications?
Task the Fourth - Names of Reason
Prithee, consider the file names in task the third – what naming convention might have been employed to make clear the newest version? Are there divers ways conventions might be used to visualise further versions? Is there aught else that might be done?
Alphabetical ordering and dates
A file explorer shall typically arrange folders and files in alphabetical order. If thou employest dates within thy naming convention, the file explorer may not sort aright, for numbers too are sorted alphabetically.
Example of sorting with the dd-mm-yyyy format:
11-08-2008 Folder name
12-01-2008 Folder name
13-05-2008 Folder name
The same holdeth true for numbers; wherefore 15 shall appear before 2, 3, 4, et cetera, unless one beginneth with index 0. 01, 02, ...
Task the Fifth - Wherefore?
Wherefore ‘tis wise to employ a good folder structure?
A Bonus Query: How mayst thou assure thyself that thou shalt find thy files ten years hence, after thou hast last laboured upon them?
