TraFilm mainly focuses on feature films but will also accept short films or TV films and series. TV series must be entered at this level by season, i.e. each full season for a TV series is treated as “one film”.

Type in just 3 digits, (e.g. 115) to show how long the films lasts, measured in minutes, or two digits if the film lasts less than 100 minutes (e.g. 88). This item is a bit like asking how many pages a book has. In another form you will be asked to enter in the Conversation Start Time, also as minutes. You must make sure that your film duration is always a higher number than any Conversation Start Time, for the analysis to be coherent.

For example, for the Series Game of Thrones, you just type in “Game of Thrones”. That way all seasons of the same series will be linked by this item.

Type in the film director’s given name and family name. If there is more than one director, separate each director’s name by using commas (,). The system interprets the comma sign as separating different values or answers within the text of the same item (question).

Provide the scriptwriter’s given name and family name. If there is more than one scriptwriter, separate each full name by using commas (,). The system interprets the comma sign as separating different values or answers within the text of the same item (question).

Provide the name of the production country, in English. If there is more than one country, separate each one by using commas (,). The system interprets the comma sign as separating different values or answers within the “free” text answering the same item (question).

Provide the name of the production company. If there is more than one company, separate each one by using commas (,). The system interprets the comma sign as separating different values or answers within the text of the same item (question).

Choose from list of languages. L1 is the main language of the ST and this item is “mirrored” in Form 4 as “L2 language, what language is L2 in?”, asking for the main language of the TT, to enable a direct connection between L1 and the L2s of its corresponding translated versions. This item (L1) is thus the “parent” of every version of it (each case of L2) according to how many different languages and AVT types (i.e. dubbing, subtitling, audio description, subtitling SDH) are introduced into the database. When inserting a language, please specify in order of more general to more specific, in those cases that need specifying; e.g. Spanish South American Chile, or English US Southern Georgia. Only be as specific as you need to be and know for sure.
