WHAT DOES FILM CAMERA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Photographic film

Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent plastic film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals. The sizes and other characteristics of the crystals determine the sensitivity, contrast and resolution of the film. The emulsion will gradually darken if left exposed to light, but the process is too slow and incomplete to be of any practical use. Instead, a very short exposure to the image formed by a camera lens is used to produce only a very slight chemical change, proportional to the amount of light absorbed by each crystal. This creates an invisible latent image in the emulsion which can be chemically developed into a fully visible photograph. In addition to visible light, all films are sensitive to X-rays and high-energy particles. Many are at least slightly sensitive to invisible ultraviolet light. Some special-purpose films are sensitive into the infrared region of the spectrum. In black-and-white photographic film there is usually one layer of silver salts.

6 QUOTES WITH «FILM CAMERA»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word film camera.
1
Dianna Agron
If I'm traveling, I'll take a film camera and a digital camera because sometimes there are moments where, if you've lost it, or if coming back and it accidentally goes through the X-ray machine and it gets overexposed, you might have had a really important moment to you and you would be really upset that you didn't have a back-up.
2
James Brolin
I started out with this dream of being a director and doing cinematography and bought my first film camera at 15.
3
Atom Egoyan
The film camera's ability to physically move through space, not zoom through space - every time we have a video camera the movement is through zoom; every time we have a film camera it is a physical movement.
4
Taylor Kitsch
I've always been intimidated by the technicalities of taking photos, especially with a film camera - not just a point and shoot.
5
Dolph Lundgren
When I got cast in 'Rocky IV,' I had never seen a film camera before. And here I was in this boxing movie.
6
Jonas Mekas
Once you change the technology - from a film camera to a video camera, or from an 8-mm camera to 16 mm - you change completely the content. With 8 mm, a leaf on a tree will be made up of maybe four grains. So it's very impressionistic, almost like Seurat. If you switch to 16 mm, the technology gives you hundreds of grains on that leaf.
