European Television Film Production Methods

Adolf Hinze

Initially, European television film production methods followed procedures set by the cinema, the only substantial difference being the use of 16mm film with magnetic sound. However, the special requirements dictated by television have given rise to new methods of production and film handling. These include the use of 16mm film in conjunction with the Pilot-Tone technique for live telecasts and the use of 35mm film in conjunction with the Electronic Cam procedure for feature film production. Similarly, these production methods have initiated the development of new magnetic sound equipment.
