more easily be geared to present a single idea or concept. TELEVISION    NEWSFILM.—Navy    or Marine  Corps  newsfilm  of  purely  local  interest can  be  prepared  and  released  directly  to  local television outlets by the command public affairs office.  Whenever  religious  programs  or  events occurring within the command are of interest to local  news  media,  the  command  public  affairs office  (PAO)  should  be  notified  as  far  in  ad- vance  as  possible.  Release  of  quality  material regarding  command  activities  is  an  important function of the command PAO. Television is the major  outlet  for  Navy  and  Marine  Corps  news- film.  Local  television  stations  may  prefer  to cover   command   activities   in   order   to   provide their  own  coverage;  otherwise,  film  may  be  pro- vided  by  the  command  PAO.  When  Navy  or Marine Corps film is used, the TV station should be  provided  with  a  complete  and  detailed  fact sheet. Normally, television stations prefer to edit the film and write the copy themselves. Television   stations   use   16mm   black   and white  and  color  film.  Normally,  film  exposed  in the  afternoon  will  appear  on  the  evening  news broadcast. An  audiovisual  activity  job  order,  OPNAV 3160/16,  should  be  used  to  request  audiovisual services. Audio  and  Visual  Tapes Audio and visual tapes are media which can be  effectively  used  in  the  Command  Religious Program. AUDIOTAPE.—Audiotapes   or   soundtracks are utilized to some extent with most audiovisual materials  which  are  prepared  within  the  Navy. Language   and   music   are   often   recorded   on audiotape  or  soundtracks  to  explain  and enhance visual images which are presented. The command  chaplain  may  desire  that  special  ac- tivities or events within the Command Religious Program  be  recorded  using  audiotape  alone  or in   conjunction   with   other   audiovisual   (AV) media. VIDEOTAPE.—Videotapes  or  video  disks are   increasingly   being   used   in   the   area   of religious  education.  Chaplains  may  utilize  this media: To  tape  a  chaplain’s  religious  education presentation when this is desired. To  provide  religious  services  and  pro- grams to patients in the hospital. To tape inservice training material for the religious  education  staff. To  tape  model  wedding  rehearsals—to enable  couples  to  select  the  type  of  ceremony that they desire. To  provide  worship  instruction  for  altar servers. The action may be stopped to emphasize the  various  movements. To  tape  programs  for  religious  holy  days and other special times of the year. Religious   films   which   were   formerly available  only  in  16mm  have  recently  been released  in  video  cassette.  Video  cassettes  are relatively  inexpensive  because  they  can  be  erased and re-recorded numerous times. These are but a few of the many ways in which videotape maybe adapted  for  use  within  the  Command  Religious Program. NOTE:   (See   also   SITE-CCTV System.) Multimedia Multimedia  is  a  presentation  technique which  employs  a  combination  of  audiovisual formats.  A  combination  of  prerecorded  audio- tape,  usually  a  cassette,  and  appropriate  35mm slides can be used to make a multimedia presen- tation.  The  tape  track  or  channel  is  recorded with   the   narration   and   the   change   signal   is recorded  on  the  remaining  channel.  After  the tape  and  slides  are  coordinated,  the  audience hears   the   narration   while   the   recorded   syn- chronizer  sends  signals  to  the  projector,  chang- ing  the  slides  at  the  appropriate  place  in  the narration.  Training  specialists  have  found  that seeing  pictures  and  hearing  a  presentation  at the  same  time  enhances  the  learning  process. This   is   why   motion   pictures   are   so   popular. 6-22
