Duck and Cover (1951)

The overt message is that it is important to "duck and cover" when there is a flash or you hear the neighborhood siren. This is said repeatedly throughout the presentation.
The covert message is that the atomic bomb is coming and that is in inevitable so we must be ready when it does come. Also, children must always listen to adults because they know what's best.
This is mainly informational because it was made to teach kids what to do when the atomic bomb came. It presents different situations and what to do in each case.
