French term

appariements

Non-PRO French to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
The following sentence is from a history of cinema. It is discussing the role of the producer. Could 'appariements' here be translated as 'partnerships' – or is it referring to some other form of 'pairing', ie, not of people?

'Dans le cadre du cinéma français, ce rôle de coordination et d’accompagnement des projets échoue généralement au producteur qui, s’il se trouve rarement à l’origine des projets de films, occupe toutefois une position centrale dans la chaîne de production et dans la gestion des appariements qui se forment autour du film.'

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

cast, props, lighting etc matching I'm thinking of going with:
'...and manage cast, props, lighting etc matching.' 'Selection' also comes to mind to describe this process.
Delaina (asker) Feb 16, 2015:
Thanks Daryo. I wonder if the sense is pairings in terms of matching up actors with appropriate costumes/set/props/music, as well as pairing actors up to work well together? Unsure of a good translation: '...management of the various pairings of actors/set etc that a film requires'...?
Daryo Feb 16, 2015:
see http://economix.fr/docs/33/macroCEE.pdf

gives a good idea of what "appariements" means

also, here is even better source - about movie making:

L'appariement, dans le sens commun, est le fait de trier par paire des choses.

... everything that gravitates around the film.

Everything from mere 'hangers-on', to essential resources (props, etc.), to actors, to production people, to .... those involved in selling (and buying...) the film.

The point the ST is making is that only the 'producer' has his eye on all the key roles in the multi-faceted movie-making industry.

disagree Daryo : a bit misleading and anyway would ONLY apply to people // http://printemps.hypotheses.org/1811 => "appariements" applies to ANY resource needed to make a movie

I agree with B.D.'s idea of "matching up things and people", but I think it's too vague and doesn't convey a clear meaning.

matching/match cuts

Match cut :a transitional technique, in which there's a cut between two shots (outgoing and incoming) that are joined, matched, or linked by visual, aural, or metaphorical parallelism or similarities; there can be audio matches, segues (a segue refers to a smooth, uninterrupted transition), and visual match-cuts of various kinds; see also audio bridge and bridging shot

Match Cut:
Technical term for when a director cuts from one scene to a totally different one, but has objects in the two scenes "matched," so that they occupy the same place in the shot's frame. The director thus makes a discursive alignment between objects that may not have any connection on the level of story. Match cuts offer directors with one way to create visual metaphors in film since the match cut can suggest a relation between two disparate objects
