Medical - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / Hospital Procedure Video
German term or phrase: Anwendungsfilm
An advertising video that will show the product being used in a procedure on a patient is entitled as follows:

"ANWENDUNGSFILM (AM PATIENTEN)"

Then it initially goes on:

"A. ANWEISUNGEN FILMTEAM
Das gebuchte Filmteam, bitte...
eine ABC-Anwendung am Patienten drehen, der das Anlegen aller 4 Komponenten klar zeigt"

Although it's an advertisement, they want to look "authentic", with a real nurse in a real hospital using the product on a real patient. So they want to disguise it to look like a bona fide medical video.

I can't find a translation for "Anwendungsfilm" anywhere - not even in Linguee, which usually has every strange word or phrase and every strange translation for it. My current guess is "instructional video", but I'm not sure if that quite covers the exact idea of what this is about. But the literal "application film" doesn't get too many convincing hits, and nor does "application video". What would it be though? TIA for your assistance.

This works well for me, so thank you for that Heidi and thanks also to the peer graders for reinforcing my decision. "How-to video" didn't seem too bad either though. Thanks again - appreciate everyone's help.

Application Film


Explanation:
It looks like what is needed is a film documenting an ABC-application (although there may be a better translation of application - this depends on what is being done by the nurses - Google hits for "Anwendungsfilm" are short videos showing how to apply things such as bandages) that shows the application of all four components in a clear manner.
