I have produced two films so far and experimented with printing them out for the first time. I really enjoyed doing this as it’s something new and I’ve done quite a lot of new things within this project which have turned out really well. Below I have uploaded pictures of the film strips cut into 6 each time so that they fit nicely into the light in the darkroom.

(2nd shoot)

 As you can see there's a variety of different exposures between the two shoots as I was trying to get the lighting right for the film camera. This was due to estimated settings on the film camera which I had to use my photography knowledge to do. 

With the second half of my first shoot, I was prepared to not let a lot of light into the camera as it was natural lighting outside. This resulted in them turning out quite well and I'm really happy with them (I have stuck them into my book). However, as the natural lighting constantly changes outside, within my future shoots I will have to do the same as I've done here and try a couple of different settings to see which come out best, this is the safest way to do it so that you at least have some successful photographs in each shoot. 

With my second shoot I thought the camera would need more exposing time as we were indoors and I was using artificial lighting; this resulted in them turning out a little over-exposed. Hopefully if I do anymore inside in the future I'll be able to fix this with the experience I have gained from this shoot.  

I will always aim for a perfectly exposed photograph but sometimes this doesn’t work; especially when using film cameras and not being able to see the photographs straight away. After going through the process of developing the film, I then went into the darkroom and printed different photographs that I felt were the best. I will place these into my book along with the film strips for you to see.

I have really enjoyed using the film camera; as said above because it is something new and it widens my photography knowledge by having to know what settings to put on the camera. I am going to carry on using the film camera and my digital as well so that I have a mixture of the two.
