Choice   of   camera,   grade   of   film,   and placement   of   lighting   all   demand   technical photographic  training.  Since  most  RPs  cannot be  expected  to  double  as  photographers  under ordinary circumstances, it is better to leave such matters  to  a  skillful  and  qualified  cameraman. Even  RPs  who  are  gifted  as  amateur  photog- raphers  should  not  tread  on  the  professional’s toes  by  giving  directions.  Leave  the  technical work to the expert. Inspect  the  location.  Remove  the  glasses, coffee  cups,  and  the  litter.  Have  a  window washed  or  a  section  of  a  wall  painted  if  it  is dingy.  Also,  make  sure  everyone  is  in  proper uniform and that they meet acceptable standards of  personal  appearance. Do  not  interfere  with  the  photographer, but be ready to assist if requested. Leave most of the  posing  to  the  photographer. Don’t  overorder  prints.  Determine  what your  print  requirements  are  going  to  be  so as  to  avoid  placing  unnecessary  requirements on  the  photo  lab.  If  contact  prints  are  desired, indicate   this   on   the   photo   request   or   job order. SUBMISSION   OF   PUBLICITY   PHOTO- GRAPHS.—Publicity     pictures     are     normally printed  on  glossy  paper,  size  8  by  10  inches  or 5  by  7  inches.  Each  print  is  numbered  on  the back  for  ready  identification. The   photograph   caption   should   not   be written  or  typed  on  the  back  of  the  picture.  It should be noted on a separate strip of paper and lightly  fastened  with  rubber  cement  or  scotch tape either to the back or along the bottom edge of  the  picture.  The  same  number  should  appear on  the  caption  strip  as  on  the  print  itself.  Cap- tions  should  be  written  in  clear,  concise language. An ideal caption would consist of only one line. Remember  that  the  glossy  surface  of  the print is brittle. Do not write or type on the back since  any  break  or  crack  may  ruin  the  print  for purposes  of  reproduction.  To  protect  the  prints, a sheet of stiff corrugated cardboard, cut to size, should  be  inserted  in  the  envelope  with  prints. This should be done whether the package is to be mailed  or  delivered  by  hand. Slides and Filmstrips Any  photograph  can  be  made  into  a  slide. Slides  are  used  in  all  types  and  levels  of presentations  and  are  relatively  inexpensive  to produce. Filmstrips   are   frequently   used   for   educa- tional   purposes.    The   frames   of   the   35mm filmstrip can be arranged in such a way that an entire  story  or  lesson  can  be  contained  in  one strip. A major disadvantage of filmstrips is that they  cannot  be  repaired  (spliced)  without  losing a  portion  of  their  information. Transparencies As  used  here,  transparencies  refer  to  large vu-graph   transparencies   projected   with   over- head  projectors.  Depending  on  the  time  factor, the information to be presented, and the quality of transparency desired, the production methods may  vary  from  information  typed  on  clear plastic  to  complex  illustrations  on  colored film.  The  standard  size  for  a  transparency  is 7-1/2  x  9  inches  (19  x  23  cm).  At  many  Navy and  Marine  Corps  installations  transparencies are  widely  used  to  present  information  in scheduled  briefings.  This  medium  is  useful  in instances where the information to be presented changes   frequently   and   must   be   updated   be- tween  briefings. Motion Pictures Motion pictures are used extensively in Navy and Marine Corps training and information pro- grams.   Until   recently,   16mm   motion   pictures were  the  primary  visual  aid  in  these  programs. However, 16mm films are expensive to produce, often more general in nature than is required by the  course  curricula,  and  often  become  obsolete in  a  short  time  because  of  changes  in  policy, equipment,   or   procedures.   Eight-millimeter (8mm) single-concept films have replaced 16mm motion pictures in many instances because 8mm films are less expensive to produce, require less expensive  equipment  for  presentation,  and  can 6-21
