Training-Film Production Problems

Reid H. Ray

The production of motion pictures for training presents distinct reasons for techniques different from ordinary documentary or factual film methods. This is true whether the visual aid is produced during the stress of wartime requirements, or for training in industry, or educational fields in normal times. There are problems in (1) set construction, (2) camera angles, (3) selection and rehearsal of talent, and (4) editing tempo. After producing nearly 100 training films, the author has a background to present the reason “why” for the distinct pattern followed in training-film production.
