- 5 - UNIVERSITI OF MIAMI TV NEWSREEL ON WTVJ ( - University of Miami (Fla.) Radio and Television Department's weekly television news¬ reel is receiving praises from University officials and station executives as a co¬ operative project. Possibly the first TV newsreel regularly produced by a university, this five-minute video summary of the week's events on the campus has high public relations value for the institution while offering unique training opportunities for television students. After carrying the program in choice newstime since last October, WTVJ executives requested it be continued as a regular cooperative contribution to the station’s public service programming. "Campus Newsreel" is carried at 5>;ij.5> p.m. Saturdays, between a sports show and the station's local news program. The four minutes of footage averages four subjects a week. Besides praise for the selection of events, Lee Ruwitch, WTVJ vice president and manager, emphasized that excellent use of theme and background music gave the reel professional finish and exceptional viewer appeal. Student Project Under Faculty Direction The reel runs approximately l£0 feet on the air. Careful planning cuts down total shooting to about 300 feet a week. The project is under the direction of Prof.O.P. Kidder, Jr., (formerly of WRGB, Schenectady), chairman, of tie Radio and Television Department. Studentsof the department's motion picture workshop course are organ¬ ized into three teams of three men each for shooting assignments. John Murphy, sen¬ ior radio-TV major, of Evanston, Illinois, is student supervisor. Team chiefs take assignments from him and class edits film under his direction. Deadline for delivering footage for processing is 2 p.m., Friday, except for late special events. WTVJ processes the film in its laboratories. Students edit the reel Friday evening and Saturday morning in the campus cutting room. Commentary for live student announcer is written Saturday and special music is pulled from depart- nent’s sizable library. Music is dubbed via presto recorder on two alternating discs at 78 r.p.m., each sequence being spaced separately on disc, so that audio operator seques manually on que from Student Murphy who sits with him in control room. Reel is photographed on Eastman blue-base negative with Bell and Howell 70—H l6mm. camera, using three—lense turret and extra lense. Lenses 0.7*S 1% 2", and 2". Profession Junior tripod is used. For frequent interiors a bank of four $-2 reflector photofloods is attached to camera or tripod. Special situations are lighted by #h photofloods in large reflectors on stands. Kidder Says: "Ideal" for Training Students From the student-training point of view, prof. Kidder states; "The weekly newsreel produced for actual on-the-air programming is ideal for training motion picture and televison students. Meeting the deadline weekly gives the .oject zest for the students. A campus provides a wide variety of newsreel subjects, ranging from^ symphony concerts and art gallery openings to swift-action sports and student fun. Besides acquiring technical skill and judgement, the student camera teams, editors, writers, announcers, and music personnel learn effective cooperation."
