Films for Television

Film will be the backbone of television programming, requiring the motion picture industry to prepare pictures for this new medium. When television becomes as advanced as radio is today, video stations will devote more than 50 per cent of their program time to film because film is the only proved method by which a show can be planned, rehearsed, staged, edited, previewed, and telecast with professional perfection. Film photographed for theatrical release is not satisfactory for television. New lighting techniques must be used, long shots avoided, and television's small gray screen kept in mind during production if quality transmission is to be obtained.
