Abstract

The paper reports a field study on the needs for archive video in different stages of the television program making process. The work process typically consists of six basic stages: idea generation, planning, shooting, pre-selecting, script writing and editing. During the stages, the journalist gradually develops the program idea into a detailed script. The needs for archive video also evolve with the stages towards increasing specificity. The high level of uncertainty at the planning stage often leads to intense and unfocused searching of the archive and to a collection of a pile of textual listings of video material potentially useful in the task. The pile of materials at hand was consulted frequently especially in lengthy productions like documentaries. The perceived availability of archive and shot video obviously affected the content of the final script. A special limitation of the conventional archive and one reason for maintaining the pile of textual listings is that the journalist often sees the audiovisual contents of retrieved videos very late in the work process. The paper discusses the potential changes in the journalistic work process and the needs for archive video in the case of integrated video retrieval systems supporting instant access to audiovisual contents in addition to textual annotations.
