CAST: Dr. Benjamin Noid, professor of Communications, leaning over microphone; Gordon Haun, director-producer in charge of TV and audio and a technician. Speech students in studios out of camera range. Mr. Haun: Ready. Dr. Noid: Let’s go. Making use of TV for his speech classes, Dr. Benjamin Noid records observation on a students delivery while Gordon Haun, director/producer of TV and audic. operates equipment. Mr. Haun places a film into the recording equipment, a speech student moves into view in both studios. Screens show each student from two angles on a number of sets around the room. Red lights go on. Student: Why are there tears ata wedding? There will be more than one reason. . As the speeches, students Dr. Noid give makes their ob- servations into the microphone pointing out that most students have their weight too far back, shift back and forth and hold their arms awkwardly. Many have nervous or habitual gestures. Pushing away from the microphone, Dr. Noid observes the “tucked-in” chin and “looking down,” which are other frequent mistakes. Mr. Haun: We are making in- dividual films of each student that he or she may check out from the Reserve Library, often right after class. Cost of each film is about $15 per student. We film six talks for each student, a total of 30 minutes over a quarter. The speech is taped on one track, Dr. Noid’s comments on another and both the speech and comments together on a third. Next quarter we erase the film and use it for another student. The film will be reusable two or three years. (continued on page 8)
