My wish to understand about such terms became much more concrete, when I began to submit data to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) in late 1994. I was and I am fascinated by this database project which is solely based on the contributions of internet users from all over the world. Soon the need arose to translate the credits data from e.g. german movies into the english language. So I began to compile a list of terms one of which I always had and have on my computer, because I submit data to the IMDb nearly every week. The list was not an easy job to do, because there are just a few sources for such terms in german and most of those are full of errors.
The decision to publish my list online finally was made because of the faults other users of the IMDb made with their contributions. One day I saw the word 'mask' as a profession tag on the crew list of a german movie. Obviously somebody had translated the german term 'Maske' which is mainly used for 'make-up' in german speeking tv business with its basic meaning not knowing the appropriate english term for it. From then on I was of the opinion that probably a lot of other folks were in need of some reference material for such translations. You are not? Well, if you do not happen to be an english native speaker, are you aware about the differences of a production designer, an art director and a set decorator? On the other hand, if you are an english native speaker and you watch e.g. a german movie, do you know what 'Ausstattung' or 'Kostüm' means?
So here it is, the Online Film Dictionary, which lets you look up such terms. Please make use of it. I also have another request. If you happen to know movie-specific terms, which are not already in the dictionary, please share your knowledge and submit these terms to the dictionary. Thank you.
