Hi - I write advertising copy and conceptual marketing materials for movies and TV. Been doing it a long time, and I have quite a backlog of files for projects I’ve worked on. I would love to be able to use DTPO to archive it into a really useful searchable database that I could refer to easily to jab thinking. Seems like a great use for it.
My first attempt at doing this has turned into a bit of a nightmare. I have movie projects sorted into Genres (Action, Horror, Comedy etc) and then into titles. And I loaded the copy submission files into DTPO in their folders, and now the database is just so massive I don’t know how to make it useful to me. On top of that I stupidly imported a bunch of email folders with script submissions attached to emails. On those I can see a “word” icon, but can’t open the file. Not sure why.
So it’s kind of a mess.
I would like to be able to input key words and bring up scripts relevant to what I’m working on. Can I build on what I’ve done or do I have to start again?
Any suggestions will be welcome. thanks
