RTV Theory and Practice - Special Issue

our television programme should be mentioned. First of all, documentary drama, then fantasy, and experimental drama, where new elements (documentary shots, archive material, plays within plays, etc.) are added to previonsly dominant pattern, Bearing in mind these trends we аге inclined to think that television drama is increasingly turning to the discovery and explanation of the problems of mankind in an authentic and modern way. If this is true, all problems of a technical nature - whether to shoot with a television ог a film camera - will be pointless since this question will then be considered to be just one of the possibilities of a purely formal nature which will not decisively influence the final artistic achievement Improvements in television techniques lend credence to this view. We believe, for example, that television techniques will be able soon to achieve even artistic perfection in the XV picture, which is at present the prerogative of the cinema.
