The Use of Films in Work Study Training

FILMS AND THE cine‐camera are not essential to the application of work study in its broader aspects, and, in fact there are many firms practising work study today in which the use of the cine‐camera is unknown. Most managers in these firms feel that work study is merely applied common sense, and that worthwhile savings are to be made with the aid of a chart and a pencil only. There is a lot to be said for this point of view, and certainly one can hold no brief for the transformation of an essentially simple technique into a confusion of fancy charts and over‐complicated reports.
