Filmstrip Considerations

From SPARK

• Define the objective(s) of the program.

• Determine the acceptability of the visuals before use.

• Determine how the visuals are perceived (truth, fiction, entertainment, instruction, etc.).

• Consider producing your own filmstrips using local artwork and/or pictures to tell the story. (See Filmstrip Manual)

• Audience size will be limited to the quality (size and clarity) of the projected image.

• Some training is needed in the use and maintenance of the filmstrips, projectors, and any needed audio recording/playback equipment.

• Requires a reliable power source (battery or electricity).

Media Mix

Incorporate filmstrips into a planned media program that will complement, enhance, and reinforce the message of storybooks, Scripture readings, dramas, video programs, etc.
