Copies are also sent to a group of specialists in the field of audio-visual instruction for their critical analysis. The suggestions received from these sources are then compiled and made available with the treatment to serve as a basis for a scenario. Due to the great need for productions in the field of geography, the Commission, through the collaboration of President Atwood and F. Dean McClusky of Scarborough School, has developed a new course in world geography designed to give highschool students a better understanding of postwar geography. The film objectives have been prepared to cover the various phases of this new course entitled, “Widening Our Horizons.” A script writer has been engaged and is now developing a scenario on each of these units. This material will be checked, evaluated, and revised before the films go into production, according to the same system used for the democracy materials. Preliminary work has been done also in the fields of mathematics, art, teacher training, and health. The work of the Commission is to cover a five-year period, and the results of the study are to be made available without charge or obligation to anyone interested in the production of instructional films. It is indicated that there will be a tremendous increase in the production and use of instructional films now that the war is over. It is the earnest desire of the Commission to assist not only in the production of the best and most effective type of audiovisual materials but to assist in making these materials readily available to classes in which they are needed. 600% Increase in 16mm Eastman Kodak reports that si.x times as much 16mm film was used by the armed forces each year during the war as was used normally in an average prewar year.
