1. A method for audio and video production, comprising:
- at a server, receiving assignment information having first metadata with media object server identification information from a newsroom computer system, wherein the first metadata contains pre-production information related to the assignment information, and further wherein assignment information is associated with a news story to be pursued by news gathering personnel;
from the server, transmitting the first metadata to a field device as instructions for the news gathering personnel to pursue the news story;
at the server, receiving audio and visual information from the field device operated by a videographer, the audio and visual information having second metadata related to capturing the audio and video information with a video camera by the videographer, the second metadata including the media object server identification information and additional information related to the capture and assignment information to the second metadata, wherein the audio and visual information is received at the server in a file structure that comprises the second metadata entered into the file structure of the captured audio and video information;
at the server, associating the assignment information with the audio and video information received from the field device by matching the media object server identification information of the first metadata with the media object server identification information of the second metadata received from the field device;
at the server, updating the first metadata with status information related to the second metadata received from the field device; and
at the server, providing the updated first metadata to a newsroom computer system.

Abstract
Metadata generated at the outset of an audio visual program, such as a television undergoes transmission to a field device associated with a capture device operated by production personnel, such as a news reporter and/or a videographer to capture one of audio and/or video information. The production personnel will typically edit the metadata for incorporation into the file structure of audio and/or visual information captured by the capture device. A server receives and updates the original metadata using the metadata in the file structure of the capture audio and/or video information, thus effectively harvesting the original metadata.
