Production Facilities for a New Film-Training and Education Program at Temple University
A program of professional film training and education has been initiated within the Dept. of Radio-Television-Film of the School of Communications and Theater. Temple's program is focused entirely upon the use of film as a medium for creative documentary, film journalism, anthropological/ethnographic statements and as a form of cinema verité. The program is housed in a new production center for radio television, theater and journalism programs. Both the facilities and the production hardware have been designed and selected to meet the particular requirements of a program which stresses location cinematography by small, mobile crews, together with the processing, editing, recording and rerecording involved in bringing documentary film productions to completion. Film studies and research courses on the graduate level seek to develop new techniques and approaches to the production of documentary films, and to develop both hardware and production management systems which are appropriate to this kind of film. Research is also conducted into the effectiveness of documentary films with particular audiences.
