DATABASE

Why do some projects turn orange?

After viewing a project the title will instantly turn orange. This provides an easy way to keep track of what projects you have already viewed.

What does a black circle with a “U” indicate?

A black circle with the letter “U” in the center is a project that has been updated since you last viewed it. As soon as you view the updated project, the “U” will disappear.

How can I bookmark a project?

To bookmark a project, simply click on the bookmark icon found in the bottom right-hand corner of each project’s popup window. Once you do this, you will see a black star appear next to the project’s title within the database interface. To remove a bookmark simply repeat these steps.

How can I find projects that I’ve bookmarked?

To locate projects you’ve bookmarked, click on the up or down arrow key located in the column heading “Project” and the projects you have favorited will be grouped together and shown first.

How can I find projects shooting within a certain location?

To find projects by location, please visit the database section and search by zip code or location name. A tip to improve your search is entering the specific location name within the search bar, like “LOS ANGELES, CA”, “ATLANTA, GA”, “BOSTON, MA”. If you’re looking for all projects within a specific state, you’ll need to perform two separate searches. First, search the state abbreviation like “CA”, “GA”, “MA”; next search the full state name like “CALIFORNIA”, “GEORGIA”, “MASSACHUSETTS”. The same is true if you’re looking for projects that are shooting in specific countries, like “PARIS, FRA”, “FRA”, “FRANCE”. To make navigating our database easier, a list of state and country abbreviations can be found here.

I’m having trouble locating a project that was previously listed on the database.

Projects are generally left on the database for 90 days past the original start date (unless we receive updates about a delay). After that, you can still find information by looking through past weekly reports.

I found incorrect information in the database, what can I do?

While we work to ensure accurate data, sometimes details change last minute and aren’t communicated outside of the production company. Please send discrepancies to info@productionbulletin.com so we can immediately investigate any changes that need to be made.

How do I sort the database?

To sort the database by particular fields like title, location, and start date, simply click on the pyramid found in the left-hand side of the column title. Click on the upper pyramid to sort ascending, and the bottom pyramid to sort descending.

How can I search the database without sorting?

To search the database without sorting, simply type a word of interest into the search field found on the upper right-hand side of the database. For example, if you’re looking for projects located in Los Angeles, simply type Los Angeles.

How do I see additional information about a production or distribution company?

To view additional information, simply click on the production or distribution company name and a popup window will appear (if this doesn’t happen, you may need to disable the popup blocker in your browser settings). You can then print the information by scrolling through the data and selecting the orange print button.

I determined a project of interest, but how can I view more than just what’s visible in the database interface?

Simply click the word VIEW found on the right-hand side of the database. You can then print the information by scrolling through the data and
selecting the orange print button.

What if I want to view more than just 25 entries at a time?

Users can determine the number of entries visible per page by simply increasing or decreasing the entry count found in the Show Entries drop-down menu located on the upper left-hand side of the database.
