I'm writing a paper on the mythic structure of the film The Wizard of Oz. I have exhausted my college's electronic film databases and can't seem to find anything in the hard copies of film journals we have.
The public library has a few books but it costs $50 for a library card since I'm not technically a resident, so that's out of the question.
Does anyone have any research tips?|||maybe check ebay or something for the books

What is good film minolta camera to learn on ?
I was just wondering what was the most popular minolta film camera used and is the new dslr cameras easier to use than the film. Is the picture quality better on film.|||Each person will feel differently about film and digital cameras. Some like convenience of digital cameras, some find it empty and boring. Some like to be more engaged and choose film while some think it's utterly stupid to have to wait and pay for film processing. Both can have the same level of quality but it is achieved in a different way.
Popular Minolta cameras appear to be those of the Maxxum line (e.g. Minolta Maxxum 7000) or the manual X-series cameras (e.g. Minolta X-700). I would personally choose the manual x-series cameras (e.g. http://www.keh.com/camera/Minolta-Manual鈥?/a> ). You can find other cameras and lenses on the KEH site. KEH is a reliable used camera source that I've done business with.
Fully manual camera's are generally considered very reliable and durable. It appears that most art schools still insist on manual film cameras for learning, even now in the digital age. With the full manual and some automatic control offered by the X-700, you can learn about crucial aspects of photography. The lens shown in the outfit I posted a link to does not zoom because it's what's called a prime lens. This fixed focal length can facilitate the expiration of different compositions when taking photos.
If you want thorough overview of the X-700, you can find information here: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/har鈥?/a> There are also detailed instructions on how to operate the camera through the links near the bottom.
There are, of course, many other camera's to choose from, but the X-700 would be a good place to start. If you have any more questions about film (e.g You might need help finding labs that process and scan your film), you can email me using the link in my profile.|||That would be the Dynax series. Minolta made some junk through the 1990s (but then so did all the manufacturers), so stick to the early first and second generation stuff, or the later stuff like the Dynax 7 and Dynax 9.
A slow slide film (like Fujifilm Velvia 50) or a slow modern black and white negative (like Ilford Pan F+, Delta 100, Neopan Acros), on 35mm format will give you more resolution than the current top end full frame DSLRs. Fast 35mm films (anything from 400 and up), don't have a hope to keep up with digital, grain becomes really obvious.
Larger formats, such as 120, and sheet film still regularly kick digital butts, and while the gap is closing in digital medium format, film still has the edge for the forseeable future in this sector.

What exactly do film critics mean when they say is a film is badly directed?
How is it possible for people to actually tell when a film is badly directed.Its quite easy to tell when a film is badly written or badly acted, but what are the signs of bad direction?|||They mean that they think it was badly directed. In the structure of movie making the director is the team captain. Bad acting is often as much the blame of the director as the actor. Same with bad writing. Sometimes it isn't the words that are bad but how the director tells the actor to perform them.
And sometimes the directing isn't bad so much as not a style the review likes. So the answer is that it is often subjective and there isn't a checklist of signs to follow.
An example to finish off. The first two Harry Potter movies were directed by Chris Columbus, who is known for working well with young and often unexperienced child actors. He directs kids by doing what's called "line reading", in other words, he just tells them how to say the lines. Yell this, be mad here, cry here. etc. It works but many feel it is flat acting. It's not even enough to qualify as acting. Some reviews would call that bad acting or even bad directing since Columbus tells them what to do.
Jump to Harry Potter number 3 and a new director. Alfonso Cuaron also is known for working with young actors, but he treats them like adults in the sense that believes they are smart enough to get to the emotional center of a scene and how that character would speak and react in that moment and play it. In other words, he lets the kids act. and you can see it if you watch the movies back to back. Same actors, same character, same style of dialogue because it was the same writer. But there is a richness in the 3rd movie that was missing from the first two.|||The director sets the scene, he tells the actors, camera and set people what to do. Hes like the manager of the film. Critics look at all aspects of the film, if the actor is normally good but in the film seems unnatural, unfitting that could be a sign of bad direction. Areas of the film that don't fin in or make sence are also signs of bad direction (and editing) Actors in awkward places, movements, camera angle are what the director directs.|||Well, think about it. When you yourself watch a film, can't you tell with the first few minutes that it's gonna suck? Critics don't always have it easy in their defense,because no matter how excruciating they have to sit through a crappy movie for ethical reasons then of course,it's open season, which is by no means to say that they're always right. The director is the captain of the ship and it's his responsibility to see that everything from costumes to continuity is up to snuff. They don't just sit there and yell"Action" a good director approaches a project with a vision. A hack films anything any old way with no real regard as to the finished product.
And that concludes my rant for the day!LOL|||Well, a director chooses the camera angles and tells the actors how to do the scene. The director gets most blame if the movie fails.
So when a critic says a movie is badly directed, it means that he director chose the wrong shots and directed the actors badly.. but nonetheless, critics are nothing more than idiots who don't know the difference between their *** and their own face.|||It can be bad cinematography, unnecessary scenes, or a kind of scattered, all over the place feeling to the film, among other things.

How bad is film affected by the X-ray scanners at the airport?
Most likely my camera and film will be in my carry-on. Would the X-ray scanners damage my film while inside their little plastic containers? What about if the film is loaded into my camera?|||A lot depends on what ASA (ISO) the film will be processed as. Lower ASA films will GENERALLY not be affected. higher ASA films (over approximately 200 ASA) would be more susceptible to damage.
However much has changed in the field of airport security screening. Many airports have different screening ("X-Ray") equipment. Equipment standards change rapidly and without the knowledge of the general public. Therefore always INSIST on non-damaging procedures for your films whether exposed or not. You have the right to have your items not run through the screening machine. Therefore cooperate with "the system" and leave yourself PLENTY of time so you are not rushed at the security checkpoint and so you are not a nuisance to other travelers.|||Not so bad if the film is in your carry on and unexposed. If it is exposed film, you will want the security people to hand inspect it.
NEVER check film. The X-Ray machines are very, very powerful and can ruin film, exposed or not.
Only special lead lined film protection pouches can protect film from X-Ray. Those can be found in a proper camera store. Plastic containers and cameras provide NO protection.|||Put your film in a large plastic bag. Mix very fast film with slow film. Have the bag hand inspected. If the security person tells you to put it through the machine, explain that there are both fast and slow films in the bag so it can't go through. Don't back down on this.
Never put your camera or your film in a checked bag. The camera can be broken by the handling, or stolen, and the film will be ruined by the x-rays. Always carry the camera, the lenses and the film with you.

When Polaroid camera film has already expired, should you not use it at all?

Is there any film currently being produced that works in a Polaroid One600 camera?
I have a Polaroid camera that uses the Polaroid 600 instant film (no longer produced). Is anyone currently producing a compatible (and cheap!) film for my camera? I've tried a few different products, with no luck. The Polaroid film retails at about $45/10 exposures, wayyy out of my price range. Should I just bite the bullet and buy a new instant camera?|||The only place you can buy 600 Polaroid film new is the Impossible Project and they seem to be out of 600 very often, such as right now.
http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/s鈥?/a>
There's no way you're going to get a popular obsolete film like 600 inexpensively but if you check back with the Impossible Project, surf eBay and check all your local thrift shops, you MIGHT find something that you can live with. I am burning my last pack, which I'd tucked away in my film fridge several years ago.
If you are interested in using instant film, I highly recommend Fuji Instax cameras over Polaroid unless you have your heart set on a specific look or were to get into peel-apart instant films.
Fuji is a much more well-managed company than Polaroid has ever been and their Instax film has been around for quite a number of years without random discontinuations as Polaroid is known for. If you buy an Instax camera, you'll probably be able to supply film for it for quite a bit longer than you could the 600. You'll have to drop a bit of money up front (unless you buy a used Instax camera or Fuji Mio) but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to buy film for quite a while as Instax has become extremely popular since the formal demise of Polaroid film (so much so that Polaroid themselves bought rights to use it with their name.)
There are three Fuji Instax cameras and two sizes of film. One is credit card sized, the other is larger and closer to the size of 600 but is more rectangular. These cameras are good quality and the film has been available for years and continues to be. Fuji is a much more effectively run company than Polaroid so we shouldn't have as many issues with availability. Fuji's instant films are also more saturated and contrasty than Poloroid, which I personally like.

How Do you open the film compartment on a 35mm camera?
I have a photography assignment that is due, and I can't open the film compartment of my camera, to insert the film. I know how to load the film, but I can't manage to get the film compartment open on this camera (I can't find any sort of release button). My camera is a Pentax, if that helps at all. Please help me!|||On many older SLRs with manual film advance, the back is opened by pulling up the film rewind knob on the right hand side of the camera (as you look at it from the front).
If there's a film in the camera you'll have to rewind it first. To do this:
1) Disengage the film advance. There should be a button to do this. Typically it's a tiny little round button on the base of the camera.
2) Flip out the lever on the rewind knob.
3) Rewind the film. Experience will tell you when it's rewound, but to be safe turn the lever fifty or sixty times until you get the feel.
That should do it if it's a manual advance.
If it's automatic, it could be anywhere. Often on the edge of the camera on the opposite side to the hinge.|||some cameras open by pulling the film rewinder on top. try looking for a sort of lever (aside from buttons). if there's no manual available, the next best thing to do is to go to a photo shop. good luck!|||try lifting up on the rewind knob and the door will open. If that does not work, there might be a small lever on the camera back door.
If all that fails, take it to a camera store.|||I've owned several Pentax cameras and they generally open as described above by pulling up on the rewind knob. If you can't grab the knob to get it started, just flip out the rewind crank and lift that up a bit.
I assume you are using an SLR, because you are taking a class and can't find the camera opening button, which is rather obvious on all of their point and shoot film cameras.|||Take your Pentax to a camera store. Ask them to show you how to open it. They will be glad toso. Its is no sweat for them and even if you are not in there to buy , they will see it as good will when you do.

What horror film begins with the same or simular scene that it ends with?
I need to think of a Horror/Thriller film that starts off with something to do with the future of the film. So it would perhaps begin with something that happens and the film is about leading up to this happenings and the scene from the beginning is perhaps repeated at the end. I no it sounds confusing but this is my last resort to get some ideas or remember films because my mind is blank!
I suppose an example is the film Crash, although its not horror, it begins with the scene we see at the end of the film.|||SAW|||the film called "Horror" directed by Dante Tomeselli

Do they just go and ask big companies if they want fund the films?
What type of company or people do they generally approach to do this kind of thing?
Do an independent film-maker and an independent animated film-maker do this kind of thing differently?|||Some the ways that fund films are we throw parties for another filmmaker to get them started not much money there yet good eats. Even more in the Chicago area there are a few bars that allow the setting up of the funds to go the film thats brought to the bar.
Best way is sponsors for films thats kinda how the real films do it latest film we did we set it up with some of the business to film at their sites and they would be in the film. For a few bucks they get a POV Point Of View of their store when the scene starts there. Now to get more we would set the scene to the DVD chapter markers start at the scene of the business. The last part is to show clients that the money that they donate to the film they get top billing for the film when we show it at the theaters or other areas as well.
Now the what you have to show is that your film will be seen by no less than so many people and that the investment is worth it, it's great for small community files as everyone likes to see themselves in the film as well as the DVDs
There are other methods as well as there are a few Film Forums that you should join to help get more info as well.|||Hi!

How long does it typically take to film a season of a television show?

How long would there be of rehearsals, etc. And of course how long would the overall process (just the filming, not the editing) take? Thank you in advance =)|||It takes about 7-8 days to film one episode. An actor spends 10 months out of a year to film the whole season. The writing and the concept part probably takes a whole year and the editing is probably done during or after the filming of an episode.|||An typical episode is filmed in about a week because they use two or more units to film scenes at the same time. So typically a show consisting about 22 episodes films half by the fall holidays. They take time off to celebrate the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas) and then return to film the second half.|||a week .
How do I get my camera to film past 1 minute?
Ok so I want to start filming YouTube videos but I have a small problem. My camera (Fuji Film Finepix JV 100) won't let me film past 1 minute and 3 seconds. Is there a way to change it to say 10 minutes of filming? If not could you recommend a reasonably priced camera or camcorder that films in HD? Thanks so much!|||Put a larger memory card in your camera.
Change the frame size setting in your camera to 640 by 480 or 320 by 240.|||You have a much bigger problem than you can ever imagine. The camera you have can not handle film although it can do video.
Read the manual. If there's a limit, it should be there. If there's a way to record more than 1 minute, it should be there.

What kind of film is needed for a 600 series polaroid?
I'm considering purchasing a Polaroid 660 (old series) and am trying to figure out if the film is still available for purchase. I have found 664, 667 and 669 but none that is just 660. It has been a while since I used polaroid film and I can't seem to remember how the numbering system works.
Are the last digits just to specify the type of film (black/white, colour, etc) and the first tell you the compatibility?|||Forget the numbering system, it's too confusing. Type 690, for example, is an SX-70 film and not compatible with 600 series cameras.

What is the difference between an SLR film camera and a normal film camera?
I'm looking for a film camera, and don't really know what the difference between a normal film camera and an SLR film camera is. Also, any suggestion for a good film or instant camera?|||There is no such thing as a "normal film camera" this is because of the rather large variety of film cameras produced in the history of photography. For the interest of simplicity I'll cover the main three forms of portable camera used by professionals, the SLR, the TLR and the Rangefinder. An SLR is any camera that uses a mirror and prism arrangement to let you see a image through the lens when using the viewfinder. This means that what you see in the viewfinder is a more realistic representation of the photograph you are about to take.
There were other forms of system camera, like the rangefinder, and the TLR. Early SLRs were much bigger than rangefinders, but later film SLRs (starting from the Olympus OM-1) became much smaller. TLRs on the otherhand predated the SLR as the premier medium format platform.
Rangefinders and TLRs suffer from a common problem, called parralax error. This is when using a TLR or rangefinder in a close focus situation. Essentially the problem is when your subject is very close to the lens, your viewfinder isn't actually aimed at the subject, it's few centimetres out. There are other inherent problems with rangefinders and TLRs, where because a TLR has two lenses of the same focal length, it's costly to make, and complex to have a proper system camera, as a result a lot of professionals had to own two or three different cameras. The rangefinder system cameras (like the Leica) on the other hand has one interchangeable lens, however this meant that the viewfinder only gives you an idea of how your image will be framed.
However rangefinders and TLRs also have a shared advantage, they are remarkably quiet. This is especially the case with the smaller fixed lens rangefinders (e.g. the Canon Canonet series) and TLRs, which both use leaf shutters. This makes them very attractive to stage photographers and set photographers where any noise is a problem.
You should be aware that there are also less common cameras, such as folders and view cameras. They are important in their own right, however they don't really fall into this remit.
In terms of good film cameras, well again the problem lies in the huge variety of cameras produced over the past 150 years or so, but I can give you a reasonable lists of stuff:
- Alpa 12
- Bronica SQ
- Canon F1/F1n/new F1
- Canon A1/AE1 Program (but not the AE1)

There used to be Twin-Lens cameras, that's why the word Single is there
There are also film and digital cameras where you view NOT through the lens, but through a rangefinder or other viewing method. Reflex refers to the mirror that transmits the image from the lens to your eye, and that then lifts out of the way the instant you take a picture, and then immediately returns to its down position so that you can see through the lens again.
While there are some high-end cameras (Leica) that are range-finder cameras, most SLRs are better than the typical range-finder camera because 1) you can change lenses and 2) You see precisely what the image is going to be, no matter which lens is on the camera.|||SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. (a film camera).
A camera with removeable/replaceable lenses.
DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex (a digital camera). A camera with removeable/replaceable lenses.
The SLR or DSLR are not for the point-n-shoot photographer. To use them effectively you need to know/learn about photography.
The DSLR can take better pictures, in the hands of someone who knows photography.
One of the advantages of the DSLR is that it can be used in low-light situations and fast action situations and a combination of the two. Again to do this you need to know the mechanics of photography, because under those conditions you will be using some of the manual controls.|||There are two main reasons to choose a digital SLR over a compact. The first is if you have used a film SLR extensively and are used to the way it works. No compact digitial camera offers the same manual controls that you can find on a digital SLR. The second reason to get an SLR is if you already own lenses for a film SLR camera. In many cases the manufacturers have made sure that the new digital cameras work with all of their old lenses which is good news if you already own them.

What is the difference between an Anime film, and a Hayao Miyazaki animated film?
I noticed that the film Metropolis is an anime film, but films like spirited away and princess mononoke are listed as just animated films?
Why is this?|||There is no difference between Anime and Hayao Miyazaki's films. They are both considered Anime. The reason that Miyazaki's films are categorized that way is mainly due to U.S. marketing. Most of Miyazaki's films were bought by the Disney cooperation with the understanding that they would not change the films. Since Disney is trying to market them more toward children they categorize them as animated to stem confusion.
The only film they released under their Miramax title, Princess Mononoke, is more easily received as Anime. It is geared more toward adults and as such was categorized differently. Overall though rating doesn't really matter when classifying Anime. It is just simply animated films and television shows from that region.|||all is anime, pretty sure. might be labeled differently due to popularity? idk. all are animated as well.|||They all fall under the category of "animated"

I read somewhere that "A film school degree will not necessarily secure you a place in the Hollywood film industry. However, an MFA film degree will definitely be able to help you."
How do you get a MFA film degree?|||I hate to break it to you but even an MFA would not help you out in Hollywood. Actually a lot of producers, directors, and actors have never even gone to film school. Your best bet is to start working in the industry and then to just keep pushing.

What is the difference between film studies and film production studies?
I know that film production is the more vocational aspect of film studies, but what careers do you go into with film studies, and can the two be interchangeable?|||Film production concentrates on making new films. Film studies often concentrates on studying films in a manner similar to the study of literature or of painting and sculpture. Neither major is likely to lead to a job in these very overcrowded fields. Both subjects could be interesting minors to accompany a business major or other major which would lead to good steady employment.|||They both get the same sort of job at the end - something with the media/ film making. The only difference is what you want to do. The film production studies means that you'll have a working knowledge of how to edit and produce and what it takes to make a film.
How do I find out what kind of film my camera needs and where can I develop the film?

Also what store can I take the film to to take it developed ( is one store better than the other).

What is the black film that appears on cookie sheets?
You can't see the black film until you wipe it with a paper towel, and when the film gets on something like a spatula it stays on there. I also believe this black film is on areas of our sink. What is this film and how do you get rid of it? We use a regular electric oven. Thanks.|||Carbon in the form of ash. Food has been burned onto the pan in small amounts. Collect enough of it together and it absorbs light and appears black. Your plastic spatula has small imperfections on its surface that allow the sticky carbon to fit with small amounts of moisture which allows it to stick together.
To get rid of it wash the surface with an abrasive pad an a mixture of ammonia and water. You'll be suprised at how easily it picks up the carbon, but you may have to break up the harder layers in your oven with a case knife, as some of it may have baked into the enamel lining your oven.
Good luck|||Also, clean your oven. The carbon in the oven may be floating soot around your kitchen.
If you don't have a self cleaning oven, use an oven cleaner that you can leave overnight. It works much better.
Also, try parchment paper when using a cookie sheet.
Cookies slide off, burn less, cleanup is a rinse of the cookie sheet.
I will never bake cookies without it ever again.

How to store polaroid film once it has been inserted in a camera?
I was wondering the best way the store polaroid film once it has been inserted in a camera? I have a Polaroid Cool Cam using 600 film. Is it possible to remove the film if, say, you only want to take 2 pictures, and then store it in the fridge? Or does the film remain perfectly fine if simply left in the camera with the camera stored in a dark, cool place? Thanks!|||You should keep it in the camera.
The solution used for developing the photo is stored in that strip at the bottom of the photo . The rollers on the camera squeeze out the solution when it is forced out . So it is sealed.Best to keep it that way. It is as safe as it would be sitting in a store.
When I discovered my parents camera , the film was over 5 years old and it worked fine.
I don't know how long it will last , but it should last a long time. I know I have left it in for a year.
If you remove it, it will definetly ruin (expose)one picture .
By the way , shaking it does NOTHING to help develope it , again the solution is contained within the picture so the air never reaches it.|||You should really use it as quickly as you can once it is in the camera.
I suppose you could store the entire camera in the fridge but then you risk condensation, corrosion and other problems. It's best, as you mention, to store it in a dark, cool place.
Once the film is removed from it's packaging it's degradation pace increases. How long it will keep depends on a myriad of factors with humidity and heat playing important roles. I would look at the expiration date on the package for a "ballpark" idea of how long it could be good for.
I don't know if you can remove the film and re-insert it or not.|||a cool dry place is adequate, but you should use it in a few months.

How long does undeveloped film last after pictures have been taken?
I went on a trip in February 2009 and used my film camera. I still have not developed my film and was wondering if my film will be expired ? I don't mind if their discolored because I like that, but I would hate to waste money on rolls of film and have them all come out black.|||I got film developed that I found in an old camera. I don't know how old it (the film) was, but probably from the 70's or 80's. It came out perfectly fine. If you go to a professional lab, they are more likely to pay attention and adjust the colours for prints if they're off on the negatives.|||to be honest with you, I have used films and not developed them till a year or so later and they have turned out fine. With some of them (which may have been WAYYY off the exp say 3 years or so, the film turned out fuzzy, but not unidentifiable which means they can still be ok, they had some weird effects to which I kind of liked, some of them however were unbelievably weird which still liked, they had a nice quality, all I can say is that old film can still work out how the picture you intentionally meant to take, however if you leave it there too long, say over 2 years past exp!! they turn out fuzzy...|||People pay big money to actually find and buy expired film...
You'll be fine, if you want to be absolutely sure - just get the roll processed and have the negatives printed if they look ok..
Usually when film is way expired the colors can shift, a lot of people love that look.. :)|||Your films should be alright. They should last as long as the expiry date on the film.

How to travel with film in a film camera?
I'm going on vacation in a few days and I heard that they make you check your camera and film. Right now I have film in my camera already (the role is about halfway done) and I'm leaving it in there to take pictures of the place I'm traveling to.
What precautions can I take to make sure my film doesn't get destroyed? Is it even worth it?|||Carry your camera and film with you as hand luggage.
The x-ray machines for hand baggage are safe for film (unless you are going through about 10+ times).
It is best not to have a film in the camera as it is quite possible in these days that you will be asked to open the back.
It is easy enough to wind the film you have back into the cannister (don't wind it far enough to lose the leader).
Just note what frame you are on. Wind it back and remove the cannister.
When through control put it back in, set camera on manual and keep the lens cap on. Use the highest shutter speed and go forward to a couple of frames after you noted down. You lose a couple of frames but better that than some ignorant security guard opening the back and ruining most of the frames you have already taken.|||Who told you you had to check your camera and film.
That is the WORSE thing you could do:
1) the extrememly high powered X-Rays all the checked baggage goes through will fog your film
2) since you can no longer lock your baggage, it is easy for things to get "lost".
Carry ALL your camera gear, film and notebook computer. The notebook is your "purse" and your camera gear goes in your carry on|||In addition to all that wisdom above, I'd like to point out you can rewind your roll of film (just until you feel it release; not all the way in) and take it out of the camera. If you must, for any reason, open the back. Then you can reload it and fast-forward to the frame (or one frame beyond) what you were at. Just shoot at the smallest aperture and fastest shutter speed with the lens cap on, in dim light (being overly cautious here) to "fast-forward".|||1st, never ever put your camera (or anything else of value - now that we can't lock suitcases) in your checked luggage. Things are stolen by baggage handlers all the time. Something like a camera could be mighty tempting to some of the people who work those jobs.
Keep your camera with you in your carry on.
Ask the security screeners if you can pass the camera by them, since it is film-based, rather than sending it through the Xray machine your carry on and shoes will go through.
They were tell you that if you are using less than ASA/ISO 400 film it will be fine. Ask again, pleasantly if they can hand screen since the shots are important and irreplaceable. So know what ISO film it is...if you really want the camera hand screened, tell them it is "high spd film".
If they insist that it's either Xray the camera or forfeit it. Then you'll have to put the camera in the bucket and have it Xrayed. But the pics may fog or discolor. Best is to finish rolls and not have active film in the camera.
If you are carrying spare rolls of film (exposed or not) put them in a lead photography bag in your carry on. That special bag that is available for purchase in camera stores or online will protect against Xrays. But they will only let you put the film in it. Not a camera. And not a camera containing film.|||Buy some fresh film and leave this roll at home.
Do not check your camera or your film - carry it on board in a small camera bag. There should not be film in the camera when you go through security. Security will put the camera through the xray, but if you mix both fast and slow film together, they have to hand check the film. I do this whenever I go through the airport so I don't have to worry about my film being xray-ed. I don't normally shoot 3200 film, but I keep a few rolls just for this purpose.

What kind of vintage film camera should I buy?
Vintage film cameras have recently peaked my interest. I bought a Polaroid OneStep Land Camera, but have come to find that one cannot buy film for such a camera. What other vintage film cameras should I look for that are fairly old, but still "alive" in the photography industry. In other words, I'd like an old camera for which I can buy film.|||Yashica D TLR - TLRs are fun, with their waist level view screens, and the quality of a well made one is stunning (the yashica D's lens is sharp, put in some nice film, and go to town)
Or a Minolta Autocord, both fantastic TLRs and about $100-$150|||I would get a 35mm, not a medium format (6x6, 6x7, 6x8 or any 120 film). I say this because buying and processing the film for a medium format is a huge hassle and more of an expense for these type of films. Some companies have already stopped making these sizes and you can only take 10-15 pictures per roll.
35mm, however can still be purchased and processed in any corner drug store. You can make a quality 11x14 or larger with that tiny negative, so there is no reason to use a larger film, anyway. It's a good camera that makes a good photo, and a good lens that makes a good camera.
I would get a SLR camera (single lens reflex). This is a detatchable lens with a mirror inside that flips up to the eye piece. That way when you look through the camera you are looking through the lens itself and not a view finder. Good brands are canon, hassleblad, nikon, minolta.|||TLR's are great, I own a Yashica A myself, but I think you should look at a 35mm SLR or rangefinder. If you could tell us what budget you have and what kind of photography you are interested in then it will be easier to give a better recommendation.
Here are a few you should consider..
SLRs
Canon A-1
Canon AE-1
Pentax K1000

Others..
Fujica Auto M
Voigtlander Vito B or C

Should I start my career in film by attending film school?
I've always wanted to work in the film-movie industry. Lately I decided to attend a 2-year film school when I turn 18, but some of my friends discourage me from doing this. They say film school is money-wasting, that using that money to make a movie is even better!
I'm very confused, if not attending a film school then what should I do?? Are there any other ways than going to film school?
Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks very much in advance!|||If you grew up around filmmakers, and have already learned everything they know about film making, then maybe you don't need film school.

Also, many old TLR's (twin-lens reflex) use 620 film which you can get, but it's expensive. However, 620 is identical to 120 except that the spools are different sizes, so you can go into a darkroom and re-spool 120 film onto 620 spools. It's pretty easy, I've done it several times.

Film production--how different is the quality of work between a seasoned cameraman and an amateur?
I am coordinating a film project in collaboration with a top notch production company. I want to save money by hiring a cheap cameraman from a company who makes wedding videos (I'm in China and theres plenty of those kind of cheap local outfits) to do the filming and turning that film over to the production company to do the editing and post production. The alternative is to have that company do the filming as well as the editing and post production. The filming content includes shots of a school and student life at the school as well as individual interviews. I expect some sacrifice in quality by hiring a less qualified local, but I am assuming it will still be good enough to make a good project, especially with professional editing and post production. Is that a fair assumption? Any advice?|||The big difference would be ...knowing your equipment and what it can do...

I know that in the present, a lot of major motion pictures still have many scenes shot on film, then digitally transferred for editing. However, there some major films which use digital cameras exclusively. I also know that most movie theaters still project films using actual analog film, rather than digitally project it, which some theaters are starting to do for certain films. I was wondering how exactly the finished movie is transferred from a digital source to film.|||The device is called a film recorder.
The recording is the final step in a process called Digital Intermediate (DI):|||the final cut is saved on the computer and then exported to a reel, im not sure what the machine is called but it re writes the footage much like the same way footage is encoded and burned to a disc. in this case it is written to film

What films have had a significant influence on future films and the film industry?
Its basically the history of films and influences. I have this project for Film Studies and im not sure about it.Thanks for the input :) Also: How have these films affected or influenced other films and the film industry?|||Terminator 2 started the advancement of CGI
Star Wars, the original trilogy invented Industrial Light and Magic
John Carpenter's The Thing paved way for creature modeling without guys in suits.
Back tot he future with special effects
Who Framed Roger Rabbit with live action/ cartoon interaction techniques.
Forrest Gump with inserting and blending actors in file footage and digital mouth rendering.
Any movie with Ray Haryhausen for stop motion animation.|||Here's a list of a few that come to my mind.
Citizen Kane - forced perspective
Star Wars - a variety of revolutionary techniques including simulating motion with models
Willow - using computers to create morphing effects
Who Framed Roger Rabbit - blending animation with live action|||Star Wars and The Matrix Trilogy pioneered many advances in special effects.

Film . . . .?
i watched half of this american film the other day and it was about this 'popular' guy who falls in love with a teenage 'geeky' girl. They did a school play together.
She is riligious and her father is a revrand
At the begining of the film theres a group of teens who have trespassed to go in this river.
theres two people stood at the top of a diving board thing. They both supposed to jump in together but only one of them does, then his body floats to the top of the river and the popular guy goes in to save him. then the security guy sees them so they all drive away. and the popular guy (who has just pulled the body out of the river) gets caught because he crashes into something. They all survived.
The 'geeky' girl dies in the end apparently
and sheis ment to be a singer in real life.
well could you tell me the name of the film please it is really bugging me =)|||This is "A WALK TO REMEMBER"
