A film be consistin’ o’ many pieces. A film will near always have some sort o’ preparin’, idea developin’, raw material, visual effects, sound, music, project files, and the like.
Not keen on films?
Ye can choose t’ create a folder structure fer another type o’ project, such as a website or an app.
NB: In programmin’, a folder structure will affect the flow o’ information in yer projects. One should be extra careful t’ follow good folder an’ namin’ conventions when workin’ on development projects.

Set a name to it!
Have ye crafted the file ye be deliverin’? Make it clear in the file name! Some workplaces will demand ye follow a naming convention, which might be that file names include date, technical specifications, project name, and author.
Perchance ye might one day need to deliver two files o’ the same film, but with different technical specifications?
Task 4 - Sensible Names
Take a stand on the file names in task 3 - what naming convention could have been used to clarify the newest version? Are there multiple ways conventions could be used to visualize extra versions? Is there anything else one could have done?
Alfabetisk sortering og datoer
A file explorer will usually sort folders and files alphabetically. If ye be usin’ dates in yer namin’ convention, it ain’t certain the file explorer will sort ‘em right, seein’ as numbers also be sorted alphabetically.
Example sortin’ with dd-mm-yyyy format:
11-08-2008 Folder Name
12-01-2008 Folder Name
13-05-2008 Folder Name
The same goes for numbers, where 15 will come afore 2, 3, 4, etc. in the list, unless ye start with index 0. 01, 02, ...

Bonus Question: How can ye be certain ye’ll find yer files 10 years after last workin’ with ‘em, savvy?
