Motion Picture – Development of Negatives, Printing and All Subsequent Operations

Description

Code 4360 applies to employers engaged in developing negatives, printing and subsequent operations of motion picture film and/or animated film.  Employers receive motion picture footage, develop the negatives and then edit by cutting and splicing.  Editing includes cutting to meet time constraints, unwanted segments, color corrections and sound enhancements such as audio being dubbed electronically onto the video tapes.

The industry has adapted to performing digital media processing and editing which is also contemplated by this classification.  Motion picture film may also be received on discs and edited directly on computer terminals.  Editing of video tapes that are received from others is also an inclusion under this classification.

This classification applies to the process of transferring motion picture film to video tape known as video tape conversion.   It also includes motion picture film transfers to DVD.

Once the above operations are completed, film, discs and/or video tapes are packaged and ready for shipment or customer pick up.

This classification applies to employers engaged in operating a motion picture film exchange. Fully processed movie films, such as exposed, developed, printed and edited film wound on a single or a series of film reels are received from producers. Some film exchanges may have projection equipment to test-screen for condition, content and time required for showing or for running pictures for their customers, such as, movie theaters, television networks, individuals, groups or associations interested in renting or purchasing the films. Following the previewing of the film, it is rewound on reels, placed in film cans, cataloged and stored in racks on shelves in vaults. When booking orders are received, the films are removed from vaults and prepared for shipment. Some film exchanges will deliver and pick up films. After each booking or rental, the returned film is inspected on editing machines, repaired, if necessary, rewound on reels, replaced in film cans and returned to the vaults. Repairing of films usually consists of cutting out a damaged section with hand shears and splicing the film by applying special adhesive and pressure.
