Children’s television or television for children?

Anton Lomonosov
Director of the film school STEP, Zheleznodorozhny

Television for children and children’s television are currently different things, although there is a shortage there and there

TV for children are films-tales, films-stories for children, on the example of which the younger generation largely forms their ethical standards, outlook on life, moral and spiritual positions, simply draws knowledge. Children’s television, that is, TV made by the hands of children, is their own creative self-expression, a look at their contemporary life, nature, relationships between themselves, parents, and the world around them.

Now there is a lot of talk about children’s television and television for children. However, it is worth separating these two concepts. Television for children is programs created by adult professionals, work for which they receive money. It looks something like this: an aunt, who is abroad of Komsomol age, dressed in a frivolous flowered dress, with pigtails and hemp, like an older sister, communicates with purple, pop-eyed monsters, which, according to the director’s plan, represent the perky world of childhood. Periodically, this action is interrupted by advice for viewers or excerpts from clearly non-Russian cartoons.

Another, more successful content for children’s television is TV quizzes and sports competitions. But there is almost no direct communication between children and children from the TV screen, except for children with a frightened look, confusedly repeating words that are completely incomprehensible to them, written by someone unknown.

Unlike them, programs created by children for their friends, classmates and peers do not suffer from false or artificial themes. Children have a huge and inexhaustible choice of topics for a report, a film, a round table or a survey. And most importantly, these topics are of concern not only to the authors, but also to most of the children’s audience. It is not always easy for adults to find a common language with children, to penetrate into their vast and very interesting world and suggest a topic for transmission. It is better to listen to the children’s options, analyze them and then work with the guys together.

“I’ll do it myself”

Of course, give the child a camera and let one “on the big road”,
believing that a wonderful TV program is already ready, the idea is simply stupid. Many children already in school are interested in such subjects as the history of the visual arts, acting and speech technology. Additional knowledge of the operator course and the basics of journalism will help the children in creating programs for their peers. Naturally, it is necessary to involve a child psychologist. Close contact with parents is very important, especially those interested in
organization of leisure, training and career guidance for their children.

The technical base of modern cinema and television has changed significantly. The development of computer and digital technologies, the emergence of a large number of specialists in this field make it possible to introduce them to the most promising part of society – children and youth. Children easily master complex equipment and programs. For them, there are practically no problems inherent in “adult” specialists in the transition from one type of technology to another, from analog to digital. While still the head of a large department of video equipment, I noticed that the slightest changes in technologies, formats, the location of control buttons, the transition to a computer literally stupefied specialists who had been working with familiar analog technologies for a long time.

Regional cable network may be the screening location. The broadcast schedule of a children’s studio must be rigid: programs must be released at the same time, on the same day of the week. Children will not only sit in front of TVs themselves, but will also call their parents, friends, classmates – after all, they show their work, and they are also in the credits! Thus, the rating of children’s programs will increase significantly, which will increase the interest of advertisers in these programs.

As for the federal children’s TV channel, in my opinion, its programs should be tested on the basis of the regions. And then the best programs from the regions will be included in the air of the federal channel, promising authors and leaders should be invited to the center for training. And programs that are interesting should be subsidized from the federal budget.

Thus, programs for children will be created not only, say, in Moscow, but all over the country, in cities, villages, even villages. The whole of Russia will be covered, the interests of all children – of different incomes and social conditions, nationality and religion, traditions. With the distributed principle of content production, direct dialogue and efficiency in discussing any problems that concern children are possible. For correct and comprehensive television education, specialists must be selected and a production base created. The federal children’s television channel, represented by teenagers interested in creating TV programs, will receive not only endless creative potential, but also tremendous efficiency. The influx of Western standards with murder, violence and perversion tires the mind of an adult and negatively affects the youthful perception of reality. The harmonious development of the young film and television audience in the near future will undoubtedly influence the development of “adult” cinema and television.
