The film was to teach instructors how to use film as a teaching tool. It was copyrighted in 1945 by Harry Joe Brown. Harry Joe Brown was and American film producer and theatre and film director. He lived from 1890 to 1972. The film’s main characters are motion picture stars John Hamilton, Selmer Jackson, and Tom Keene. The film opens showing a clock tower with the time 2:25 p.m. (0:23-0:32). Commodore D.L. Jones arrives in a military car and he is very angry (0:33-0:42). He passes Naval personnel in Navy uniform (0:42-0:47) and Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, WAVES, in uniform (0:50-0:55). Orders are passed down the line from Commodore to instructors regarding their failure (0:56-2:02). Five instructors in uniform are shown. The Lieutenant is frustrated with them (2:04-2:42). He reviews what he had told the instructors. He shows a film called “The Countermarch” which shows a PT boat turning maneuver. A countermarch means to march in the opposite direction (2:47-4:08). The instructors are to teach this maneuver to their classes. They are to use the film to teach (4:16-5:07). H-hour: time set for the classes to start (5:13-5:25). Instructor one has Sam Sailor, whose mind is cluttered with a 12 gauge shotgun and a fly rod (5:27-6:26). No preparation by the instructor meant no learning by Sam (6:27-7:11). You must prepare the students for what’s coming (7:12-7:29). Instructor two has Mike who is hot and tired (7:34-8:12). Prepare the room, ventilate it. Because he was tired, Mike got very little out of the film (8:13-9:09). Instructor three gave a brief introduction but did not tell them what to look for, the student became bored and failed to finish listening, and the instructor did not allow discussion or questions (9:12-11:41). Class four instructor studied the film and prepared the class, however the student became mentally distracted before the class was done (11:44-13:11). Before teaching you need to know the subject and how to get an hour out of the material (13:09-13:29). Teaching tools: Training Aid Guide – Prepare, create Teaching Points, Demonstrate, Review, and Test (13:30-14:18). Well ventilated Class five – Walter starts out distracted (14:41-15:13). However, the Instructor emphasizes the need to know the maneuver (15:14-15:32). He tells the class what they are going to learn then shows the film to reinforce, or demonstrate, the points (16:10-17:04). He then Reviews the points (17:04-17:32). He ends by Testing their knowledge (17:33-18:26). The Real test is with the boats and the Commodore (18:29-18:51). The PT boats are shown moving forward (18:52-19:00). Are they prepared? Not four of them (19:01-20:10). Instructor Smith, however, prepared himself and his students under the best environment he could (20:11-20:31). The signal is given (20:31-20:37), but the PT boats went all different directions (20:38-21:37). The students had not learned the lesson. The instructors were at fault for not teaching correctly (21:38-22:03). We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
