Don't rely on a film catalogue description alone. • Use personal discretion in deciding if a film makes the best use of your time. If it introduces a number of sub categories you don't intend to cover, it may confuse your participants. • Don't use a film that has a poor soundtrack or image projection, no matter how good its message. • Television only suits small audiences. For large audiences, use a video projector and a large screen, or several television sets. • Use the operator's manual to become familiar with operation of the machine. • Have the film or videotape in start position with focus and volume set before your presentation. Tips on effective use • Always introduce a film to help participants focus their attention on key points. • Make the film an active participation medium.

This is particularly useful for a topic such as goal setting. Your film could show a family setting goals; discussion following can focus on this family. • As a summary, a film can tie together many general ideas about a topic. • A film can reinforce the major points of your presentation. With this method, it is always best to develop questions to help people understand the main points. Share the questions before the film to get people thinking and involved. • Many films provide an introduction for discussion groups. Some films are designed to present an issue, then some solutions. In this type of presentation you can stop the film, direct discussion groups, then view the rest of the film for another viewpoint on the issue. • Some films are designed to give comic relief. They're best used after you've presented the information or when you want to change topics or change pace. / dberrCJ ... AGBrCAATUPE October, 1986
