What is a good film camera for beginners?

I will be taking photography for school next year, and I was wondering where i could get/find a good film camera within the reasonable price range. I would say nothing over $400 (usd), also just because I might take just one year (hopefully not, I might have complications with some credits to graduate) doesn't mean I'll stop to use the camera.|||Do not listen to that kid. You can get a Minolta X-700 or a Canon AE-1 for under $100 on Amazon or at BH photo or Adorama. Those are some of the most popular and easy to find cheap. And they are both great cameras.





Any point and shoot like an SD you will only grow out of not to mention nowhere near what you need for lass or to learn photography in any capacity. I try to be diplomatic here but that kid above me has absolutely no idea what she is talking about. I don't want her leading you the wrong way.|||If the course demands that you use film, ignore the first answer! There are plenty of good cheap and serviceable second-hand film cameras out there. I started many years ago with a Canon AE-1 and ended up with most of the A-series bodies. Possibly the best for a student would be the Canon A-1 (not the later underwater model!) because of the range of controls and overrides you can learn to use.|||Two other good choices are the Pentax K1000 and the Canon FTb. Also check out KEH Used Cameras, good prices and a return policy

How can I become a Professional film director?

I am going into grade 12 this september, and am dead serious about being a film director. But after a little research, I found out that most film schools are just on the edge of being scams. I wanted to go to Vancouver Film School for the past year, but I started to read up about what people had to say about film schools and it was very misleading and somewhat shocking to me.





So what can I do to become a professional film director?





My heroes are Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith.|||I'm glad to see that you see that film schools are scams.



Becoming a great film director is a matter of luck and having a good portfolio.



Since you like Quentin Tarantino, I will quote him. "Take the money you saved for film school and just make a movie, don't wait and do it the way you want it".



If you really wanna work in film, just make low budget movies and prove your talent.

It's hard to get into this industry, you just need to hit them really hard.



Just trust me, man, DO NOT GO TO FILM SCHOOL. They just set you up to become studio puppets like Michael Bay or they just waste your money.



Spielberg, Tarantino, Scorsese, Coppola, Kubrick, Hitchcock etc never went to film school. Why should any other good director?



The best film school in the world is watching and making movies with a little common sense and prior knowledge.|||If you have some experience about film direction then you should join any professional director and you should join as a assistant otherwise you have no knowledge about film direction you should join any film school....|||Go to film school|||Go to film school.

What is the difference between a philosophical film review and regular film review?

I need to know how to write a philosophical film review. I am doing the movie "Crash".|||The philosophical review focuses itself in problems regarding philosophy, dialogues and internal conflicts between characters.


I'll give you an example, you must know The Matrix and all the acclaim it has had since it first appeared, a philosophical review will go deeper into characters and plot and it'll find out that most of the plot is related to the allegory of the cave from Plato.


I think that you should read that allegory and then watch the Matrix and maybe you'll understand me.

I've discovered in my mother's things an old Brownie box camera with a roll of exposed 620 Kodak color film with it. How can I get this film processed and printed for the old memories it may contain?

How can I define and relate the term Exotic Film to an Erotic Film?

I wrote an essay in which I commented on someone else's reference to the porn industry. I was deducted marks for my misuse of the word exotic film, when I meant to put erotic film. How can I argue my point by linking the two in a tasteful manner? Any suggestions?|||Exotic and Erotic are not synonyms at all.








For example: The Green Ash Beetle is an exotic pest that was brought over from Asia to the United States.|||Nope. You did not look up the proper definition of the terms you used. This is all part of the learning process, the reason you are taking classes in school.





Exotic means rare, unique, foreign ... even fantastic.





Erotic has a unique sexual connotation, tending to arouse sexual desire.





This mistake should have been noticed during the first edit of your piece.





Shame on your copy reader/editor for not catching such an obvious mistake

How safe is spermicidal film combined with the use of a spermicidal condom to prevent pregnancy?

How safe is spermicidal film combined with the use of a spermicidal condom to prevent pregnancy? And how unsafe is it? Should my partner and I use something else? (Please don't recommend the pill it is not an option for me and neither is surgery)|||how about just using a condom? or you can also use one of those lady condoms.|||well i'd say spemicidal lube for u and some for the gu and a condom and i guess it has to be 90-98% save idk but i think its pretty safe

What was the last film or show to use stop motion animation for a special effect?

I know stop motion is sill used in cartoons like Coraline, but it also used to be used for special effects, like in the original Clash of the Titans. In other words, it was used to create the illusion of something real.





The last film I recall seeing a stop motion effect was in the 1995 movie Screamers. Can you think of any use of stop motion for a special effect after 1995?|||The Science of Sleep (2006)? It definitely has stop animation effects.
