Film

Film

Film can be used for recording, copying and broadcasting moving visual and audio media on a material called celluloid.

Celluloid - Transparent plastic sheets used for making cinematographic films.

The first celluloid film was 16mm, however the smaller sizes resulted in films having lower picture quality which lead to larger sizes being introduced.

Film can either be a ‘chemical’ or digital process.

When a chemical process, a light sensitive silver halide emulsion coated on a film base is exposed to light in a camera. This will then create a latended image which is made visible by emerging the film into a chemical solution referred to as a ‘developer’. A print can then be made by projecting the image from the film onto sensitized photographic paper and processing the paper through a number of chemical baths.

A movie projector is a mechanical device for displaying motion picture film by projecting it onto a screen.
