The Training Film Formula

Orville Goldner

To carry on an extensive training film program it is necessary to define terms and procedures in order to eliminate confusion and cut to a minimum the many aspects of the job which are generally considered as unpredictable. — Five factors must be considered in the construction of every training film: the truth about a condition or set of conditions, interpretation of the truth, visualization, verbalization, and emphases. These 5 factors make up the basic training film formula, variations in the application of which result in the pattern of the film. The pattern of any training film is as interesting and effective as the mental, manual, and mechanical skills and equipment used in the development of the formula permit it to be. The pattern of a given training film is established for the purpose of achieving specific predetermined objectives with a specific audience.
