Filming an Educational Television Series

Reid H. Ray

Production techniques used in filming 39 half-hour television shows by a commercial film company are described. An educational type of program (originally televised “live,” but not kinescoped) required a format unlike the entertainment television film. Studio-set design, preproduction conferences, lighting, camera procedures, props and special effects peculiar to these films are outlined in this paper.
