Abstract

The Single-Concept Film Clip Project was organized in 1964 to develop a system for excerpting, packaging and retrieving segments of footage from 16mm films in a minimum of time. These excerpts should be packaged by the producers in self-contained cartridges as single-concept films. Sound-on-film machines can help cartridge films to a maximum potential use in education. The Basic Information Retrieval System (BIRS) is a general use, computerized storage and retrieval system using the meaningful terms in the clip summaries written by the Project's film excerpters. The Project has also investigated the need for standards for cartridge projectors, particularly for the various 8mm formats now available.
