Abstract
The Training Film Branch is responsible for giving Navy instructors photographic training aids that will help them instruct clearly, accurately, expeditiously, and well. Making such training aids is both a science and an art. As a science it requires fundamental psychological and educational knowledge as well as the photographic “know how.” It demands analysis of the subject matter to be taught, the situation in which it is to be taught, the men who are to learn, and the ways in which they can be taught. As an art it requires a synthesis of photographic techniques, expertness with words, teaching skills, and showmanship. Out of analysis of the training situation comes definition of the film's specific purpose; determination of the idea and vocabulary level of the film; decision as to the teachable and usable unit breakdown of the film subject; and choice of the film medium and of photographic and script approach and method. From then on, during all phases of production, the staffs' responsibility is to see that narration, photography, animation, and effects all contribute to fulfilling the teaching purpose of the film.
