velcro the microwave and play-doh have nothing to do with
0:03
film aside from the fact that They were all accidental inventions in 1727 a
0:09
german doctor named johann heinrich schultz was working
0:12
with silver nitrate That would change color when exposed
0:15
to light to figure out It was light and not heat Which
0:19
caused this discoloration shultz tried baking these nitrates he started
0:23
placing cutouts over the solution and exposed it to light
0:26
creating a permanent shadow of the cutout unlocking the Keys
0:30
to photography about 100 years later
0:34
Which US liquid iodine on a silver copper plate
0:37
allowed for more detailed images other than just shadows this method
0:41
was used for the first true photographs Unfortunately the
0:45
original wet plate made only one Photo per exposure until
0:49
1841 when William Henry fox talbot created a process
0:53
That would make a negative image Just Like a mold for
0:57
vinyl Record this negative image is used to make
1:00
multiple Positive copies From A single
1:03
negative image the dry plate was later invented and used in
1:06
combination with a paper base to create the first flexible
1:09
role of film these roles made photography portable
1:12
simple and consumer friendly the downside However was
1:16
that nitrate film is dangerous the biggest issues were
1:19
seen in movie theaters nitrate film reels had to pass over an
1:23
extremely hot light bulb to project an image it even caused
1:27
a fire in Paris in 1897 Which claimed
1:31
126 lives to make matters worse
1:34
nitrate film produces ITS own oxygen so a film
1:37
real catches on fire it must burn itself out until the 1950s
1:42
special fireproof booths had to be built in theaters so
1:47
what changed in the 1950s that dosed the Need for fireproof
1:50
booths cellulose acetate film happened or safety
1:54
film for short so Why is it called safety film well
1:58
most obviously freak Because it didn't create self fueling unstoppable
2:02
fires Of course there was a downside However about 10
2:06
years after safety film became popular reports began
2:09
popping up of the film starting to degrade releasing
2:12
acidic acid and unpleasant smells this became known AS
2:16
vinegar syndrome and brought a great deal of focus to the
2:19
overall Quality and shelf life of film while
2:23
this process has been slowed down to about 50 years in ideal
2:26
conditions It's still an issue with Modern film why
2:30
haven't we fixed this yet well development of film technology has
2:33
slowed significantly due to the masses mostly using digital
2:36
photography methods around the MID 2000s their ability to
2:40
quickly preview shots and Store thousands of images made digital cameras
2:43
much easier and more convenient than film
2:47
photography overtook the market so much that consumer film
2:50
sales dropped to less than 1% of what
2:53
They were during film's peak years so does film still have ground to stand on
2:58
Where is it headed well there still some advantages to film the main being
3:02
detail film doesn't have pixels like a digital Camera
3:05
therefore film's resolution is calculated through angular resolution
3:09
the general ability to distinguish small details of an object
3:14
standard 35 mm film resolution Falls between 4 and 16
3:18
megapixels with larger film sizes reaching AS high AS
3:21
400 megapixels film also excels in
3:25
shutter LAG increased control over exposure levels improved color
3:28
saturation accuracy Quality and greater Dynamic range lenses
3:32
and Camera equipment for film cameras are also considerably
3:35
cheaper in comparison to their digital counterparts making entry much
3:39
more affordable so while digital video and photography have
3:43
taken quite a toll on film It's still clings to life with
3:46
many analog pur and even social media photographers using
3:50
It exclusively asram has over 11.5
3:53
million photos tagged with #film #film isn Dead and
3:58
