| | Posted: | | | | As per rules,
"If the credit information is entirely capitalized, use standard capitalization rules instead."
Now there is a film that has all lower case for the roles (When Did You Last See Your Father?) upc 043396261624.
Is this treated as the case of the all caps in the rules or are they entered in all lower case? | | | Jim

| | Posted: | | | | I tend to use standard capitalization in these cases. From what I've seen, there are a number of areas where the rules are somewhat randomly thrown together, addressing specific issues as they come up. Now, if I see the credits are mixed case and then there are specific instances of unusual casing, I give due consideration. However, consistently upper or lower or any kind of repeatable pattern will just get converted to standard by me. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, I treat lower case credits exactly the same as upper case credits and change them to mixed case. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's my contribution. I simply copied everything as "on screen" since the only provision for anything different was credits in all-caps. Especially because the actors are in mixed case, it's only the roles that are in all-smalls.
It's easily changed if everyone agrees it should be. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | What if the role was in mixed case, but not according to standard capitalization?
Would you change "The man in the tree" to "The Man in the Tree", for example? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

Would you change "The man in the tree" to "The Man in the Tree", for example? Are role names usually in standard title capitalisation or standard text capitalisation? I think that I have seen both. | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

Would you change "The man in the tree" to "The Man in the Tree", for example? Personally, if the information is already mixed case, I keep it as it is on screen. So in your example I wouldn't change a thing. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

I think that I have seen both. That's NOT the question Rho. Of course you have seen every possible variation in how Roles are handled by filmmakers. I use standard caps simply for consistency, so for me The Man in the Tree would be appropriate. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
