Location Tags

Usage: To establish time and place for the content shown in an unobtrusive and uniform way.

Text:

Padding & Placement: A Location Tag’s external padding (that is, outside the card) should be the same as that of any Name Cards shown near the placement of the Location Tag. This applies even if the two elements do not appear on screen at the same time. If the Name Cards use an external padding amount that cannot be accommodated by the Location Tag, refer back to the 1u internal padding standard of the Name Card.

Animation: Because of its placement at the start of the timeline, this element should not be animated. This is both in an effort of simplicity as well as to maintain a viewer’s attention on more important elements at the center of the frame. Despite a lack of animation, however, it remains important to place this element with intention within the timeline, hiding its in/out points alongside clip cuts.
