Film

Film refers to a chemical process which is used for analogue recording, copying, playback, broadcasting and display of moving visual and audio media on a material called celluloid.

Celluloid is a transparent, flammable plastic made in sheets from camphor and nitrocellulose. It was used for making cinematographic films.

The first celluloid film was a size 16mm. The small negative size meant that films often appeared grainy.

The arrival of a larger 35mm negative brought improved picture quality. The 35mm is better quality video than a 16mm film because you have to blow it up less to the screen so that means better quality.


24 frames per second go through the film gate.
