d. and learning for the audience range expected to interact with all media. The video and multimedia

e. Contractor should be familiar with the exhibit drawings, construction specification (for AV systems) and text and graphics document.

B. ALL PROGRAMS SHALL:

AldrichPears Associates (Revision 01: September 6, 2022) Bid Set Submittal

03 02 00 - 3 Digital Media - Production

1. Be in the following language(s): English

2. Accurately portray and convey the subjects covered.

3. Have an "interpretive" rather than a "commercial" quality.

4. Have the highest level of visual and sound quality.

5. Be appropriate for the intended audience.

6. Employ a graphic approach for screen graphics that complements the graphic approach to exhibits and graphic panels.

7. Any stock (third party) images or footage used shall meet the basic criteria above.

1.5 DEFINITION OF TERMS

A. The following terms and abbreviations may be used within this specification and in the drawings:

1. ELECTRONIC PROGRAMS: Electronic Programs may include Audiovisual (linear) programs, Digital Interactive (non-linear) programs, and electromechanical programs. “Programs” refers to the media content, as well as the software and control code used to run them.

2. ASSISTIVE LEARNING SYSTEMS: Assistive listening uses various devices that amplify volume for persons with mild to profound hearing loss who may or may not use a hearing aid. Assistive listening devices (ALDS) include headsets, earbuds, and hearing aids. The amplified sound is transmitted via radio frequency, infrared, or induction loops to the user’s headset, earbuds, or hearing aid.

3. AUDIO DESCRIPTION: Audio description describes the visual content of video or multimedia programs. It provides individuals who are visually impaired with information that further describes the visual content not provided in the primary audio track. Audio description is a separate audio track synchronized with the program’s primary audio track.

AldrichPears Associates (Revision 01: September 6, 2022) Bid Set Submittal

03 02 00 - 4 Digital Media - Production

5. CAPTIONS: Captions display spoken dialogue as printed words on television screens, computer monitors, projection screens, caption boards and other visual displays. Captions are specifically designed for viewers with hearing loss to enable their full participation when viewing video or multimedia productions. They include information regarding on- and off-screen sound effects such as music or laughter. Captions also hold secondary benefits for people who are learning a foreign language, learning how to read, or watching a program in a noisy area, as well as those who understand best by processing visual information. Captions are typically displayed on-screen as white letters within a black box.

6. CLOSED CAPTIONS: normally do not appear on screen unless the viewer has selected them to appear. The presentation venue must use closed caption decoder technology. The decoder will allow the otherwise-hidden data within the television signal to be displayed on the user’s TV screen or computer monitor. Many newer television models allow viewers to toggle captions on or off with ease.

8. CREATIVE APPROACH: A general narrative of the program describing the creative approach to be used in developing the content, graphic elements, titles, fonts, help screens, credits, animation (2D or 3D) user interface, virtual and augmented reality, navigational devices and behavior, including attract screens and closing sequences, and the operating platform of the program.

9. EQUIPMENT: Electronic devices used to play video, audio, or computer programs. It also includes devices and systems that control multiple programs, or that interface with other elements such as programmed lighting and electromechanical devices.

10. EXHIBITION: The overall interpretive presentations, which may consist of several, exhibit areas. Each exhibit area may consist of several related exhibits. Each exhibit may consist of several individual related exhibit elements. When electronic programs are produced in conjunction with exhibitions, they are typically elements within the exhibit.

11. FINE CUT: A working draft of an audiovisual program which contains the final narration, music and sound effects tracks, as well as all still, moving, and graphic images and production credits.

12. MAINTENANCE MANUAL: A detailed document or set of documents that contains all pertinent information about each piece of equipment and describes all required service and maintenance.

AldrichPears Associates (Revision 01: September 6, 2022) Bid Set Submittal

03 02 00 - 5 Digital Media - Production

13. OPEN CAPTIONS: Open captions are displayed on the screen automatically as part of the video, without having to be selected by the user.

14. ORIGINAL CONTENT: All elements created specifically for the project, including original illustrations, photographs, maps, sound and video recordings, and animations.

15. PRODUCTION PLAN: A document which presents the major categories of work to be performed in the planning, production, and post-production phases of the program. The Production Plan shall describe all of the elements required to produce the program as outlined in the Treatment and/or Scope of Work, including, but not limited to: production personnel (including the use and identification of sub-Contractors, consultants, and other salaried employees of the firm), equipment, post-production facilities, personnel, travel, transportation, and an estimate of all materials expenses such as tape/film stock, archival images, and associated costs.

16. ROUGH CUT: A working draft of an audiovisual program which contains enough of the structure and content to evaluate the validity of the approach and to determine if changes or modifications are needed to meet the project objectives. This may mean changes to the final script or proposed visuals. Changes are made for clarity and to strengthen the goals and objectives of the program.

17. SCRIPT: a document which contains the program’s narration and other dialogue, and provides visual cues to specific footage and imagery to be used, as well as other technical directions such as sound effects, special effects, and music cues.

18. STORYBOARD: a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a video production.

19. SUBMITTAL: all samples, documents (i.e., drawings, schedules), electronic files, and other materials that together represent the level of development of work at a given time.

20. SUBTITLES: Subtitles are used to translate dialogue into a different language. Subtitles rarely convey nonverbal sounds such as music or sound effects. Subtitles are generally not displayed within a black box and do not have standardized font requirements. They are primarily intended for hearing audiences. Subtitles, unless produced with captioning guidelines such as identifying speakers and sound effects, are not considered a suitable accessibility alternative to captions.

03 02 00 - 6 Digital Media - Production

22. TALENT/ACTORS: ‘Professional talent’ is defined as an individual whose primary source of income is derived by appearing in entertainment productions produced by a profit-making company, who has appeared in one or more similar roles in a professionally produced film, video or television production.

23. TREATMENT: A narrative overview of the proposed production’s creative approach and storyline; a description of the proposed talent for the production (i.e. actors, reenactors, interviewees, narrator(s) and/or other participants), to include a description of the roles they will play and the general dialogue, narration and/or commentary they will provide; and a general description of the scenes, locations, graphics, artwork, and animation to be used in the production with sufficient detail to provide a sense of the proposed production. In addition, the Treatment shall include, but not be limited to: an estimated percentage of the program that will be comprised of original live action footage versus stock footage, still images or artwork; the number of days of live action photography; an estimated percentage of the program that will be comprised of historic and archival images and motion picture or video footage, and the proposed source(s) for such materials; and a description of the proposed musical score, to include whether it will be comprised of original or stock music. The AV Treatment provides the basis of the production plan and script.
