Utility film – learning by imitation

Utility films or instruction films are films which encourage and provide guidance for action. Utility films can be created with various media:

• Video recording
• 3D/2D animation
• Screen video
• Animation

The imitation principle
Utility films are based on the principle of imitating what was seen. Each operational step is portrayed in a separate clip. Once the viewed material is successfully adapted the user navigates to the next clip. Particular emphasis is placed on the didactic preparation. Operational steps must be well-conceived and comprehensible to the viewer.

Quickly usable worldwide
As much as possible, speech is omitted in utility films. Their import becomes much clearer with the loss of language barriers and linguistic misunderstandings.
