	About Film Formats - Slides, Negatives, & Transparencies
		Over the years there have been many film formats, and so it can be confusing to determine what type of materials you have.
		Since there are many film formats we cannot explain all types, but will cover the more common ones; 110 (sub-miniature format), APS, 35mm (standard format), 120 (medium format), and 4"x5" (large format).
		Inside the cassette the film is 23mm wide and the frames are 30.2mm x 16.7mm in size (don't open the cassette or it will be ruined!).

	Frequently Asked Questions
		After the film is developed at the laboratory, it is slit down the middle and the pieces are spliced together, resulting in an 8mm film.
		The film itself comes either wound tightly around a plastic `core,' for loading into a camera magazine (either in a darkroom, or a portable `changing bag'), or, for 100' and 200' lengths, mounted on small metal spools (like those for regular 8mm), which can be loaded into the camera in moderately bright daylight.
		This format is now rarely used for feature film cinematography, although it is often used for background plates and other visual effects scenes which benefit from the extra negative area and resulting high resolution of that format, as the negative contains an area which is four times that of a standard 1.85:1 projected frame.

	One hundred Years of Film Sizes. Almost one hundred film widths and perforations were experimented with.
		Films from 10 to 15 meter lengths in special containers were for rent from Edison depots or by mail.
		An optimum use of the film width was obtained by expanding the image and reducing the size of the perforations on both sides.
		After processing the film was slit in the middle and the two 8mm halfs spliced together.

		Then the camera advances the film two frames (10 perforations), and photo #2 is taken.
		The camera again advances 2 frames, and photo #3 is taken (part of which is not show - the "left" side of photo #3 would be off to the left of this drawing).
		This method of film advancing is simpler than the European 1-3-1-3 sequencing, as the film advance distance is always the same.

	rec.arts.movies.tech FAQ
		Films with magnetic sound also have a `balance stripe' on the perforated edge in order to keep the film thickness even, although sound is not normally recorded on it.
		Film `dailies' (quickly made prints of camera negative) are often known as `work prints,' as, after they are viewed by directors and cinematographers, they are the actual prints with which film editors (assuming they actually are editing on film) `work' as they cut and splice the film together to appropriately reflect a film's story.
		Films in 16mm and sometimes 35mm are cut into so-called `A and B rolls,' in a `checkerboard' fashion in order to ensure that splices will not appear on the screen when the prints are projected.

	Elmer's Guide to Theatrical Film Formats
		Often, when a film is shot in a Super 35 process, the home video release will be available in both a standard, 4:3 version and a 2.35:1 letterbox version, giving consumers a choice of seeing more than what they saw in the theatre or seeing the original, theatrical images.
		For this format, the film is, obviously, twice as wide as 35mm film, but each frame is 5 perforations tall instead of 4.
		The 70mm soundtrack through the years was a set of magnetic “stripes” on the film which were capable of delivering the highest fidelity sound of all film formats (until digital sound came along).

		Film shot in 4:3 ratio will present the same difficulty while deciding where to reframe the image, but degradations caused by refaming are quite minimal when done at the telecine transfer step compared to a similar action using video as the source.
		Film, which runs at 24 frames per second in the U.S., must be transferred to video using a method that divides the 24 frames into the 30 available television frames.
		Film is the one medium capable of crossing most of the boundaries that exist in program delivery.

	KODAK:FAQ:Motion Picture Super Film Formats
		The new film, Super 8, could be used with the same economy as regular 8 mm, and projectors that could show both sizes of film could be easily manufactured for customers with a library of older films.
		The wider image of this format exposes the frame out to the edge of one side of the film where the second row of sprockets would be.
		When the sound track area was added to film in the late 1920s, the picture had to be narrowed and shortened to maintain the same aspect ratio (frame shape).

		This film could be run during a breakdown to pacify the audience....it was needed more than the designers, theatre owners or patrons would have liked.
		Dolby Stereo: Although the advent of magnetic sound tracks improved the quality of film sound in the 1950's, it was often available only in the best-equipped theatres playing the most prestigious films, and the cost of magnetic-sound film prints was prohibitively high.
		Having the soundtrack directly on the film allows it to coexist with the analogue track without involving any other media like a CD - this not only makes it simple for film distributors and theatre owners to handle, but also allows Dolby Digital prints to be prepared at virtually no additional cost.

	Film Formats Compared
		These were the most popular film formats from the invention of photography until the 1950s, when medium format cameras like the Rollei rose in popularity.
		Of course crop every film format for each image, and if you prefer using the square image, artists consider the square image to be a more intellectual composition compared to the ordinary rectangle.
		The journalism formats of digital and 35mm are so popular that unfortunately many amateurs never consider other formats that could be better suited to their work.

		This format was popular for a while because of the importance of avoiding projection-booth fires (one had killed 124 people in 1897).
		The film was shown in three projectors on a huge curved screen, the only use of a curved screen until OMNIMAX in 1973.
		Many movies are filmed this way, and the director composes the shots with the knowledge that the film will be cropped two different ways during transfer to cinema and video formats (a sort of double soft-matting) An excellent example of this is Cameron's Titanic (1997).

	History of Kodak Roll Film Numbers
		It was now necessary to specify the image size and the camera the film was to be used in, as not all films for the same size pictures could be used interchangeably.
		A-116 film, for example, was for the same size pictures as 116 film but instead of red and fl duplex paper, the film was wound with a sheet of carbon paper and thin red paper.
		This film used in an Autographic Kodak camera allowed a brief message to be written on the film in the space between the pictures.

	CINEMATOGRAPHERS - FILM FORMATS - Page 1
		Utilizing a special 16mm film which had double the number of perforations on both sides, the filmmaker would run the film through the camera in one direction, then reload and expose the other side of the film [Double-8].
		Others used films with a width of 11mm, 24mm, 28mm, 50mm, 62mm, etc. In 1907, a voluntary agreement was reached, which became known as the Motion Picture Patents Agreement of 1907.
		A camera and projector system that employs the largest film frame in motion picture history: 65mm film moving through the camera horizontally allows individual frames that are 15 perforations wide and measure 71.09 by 52.63mm, ten times larger than the standard 35mm frame.

	Medium and 35mm Film Formats
		There are three main roll film types in regular use: 35mm, 120 medium format, and 220 medium format roll films.
		The Leica used 35mm motion picture film, doubling the 35mm movie frame size (24mm x 18mm), which is still used in some "half-frame" cameras such as the Olympus Pen F.
		As you might know, the larger the film frame size, the larger your lens has to be to get the equivalent "angle of view" or amount of coverage.

	APUG - How are different film formats made
		I am curious because it seems to me if the same machines are used to produce and cut all of one emulsion, as long as one format is produced, they can all be produced although with higher costs for formats less in demand in the future.
		But if I understand the underlying question of future availability of a given film format, then at present I can relate that there are several suppliers of specialty film formats.
		Kodak must have scrapped the equipment for making thick emulsion films (after all, Super XX had been the only one for quite a while) when they sold their remaining stock.

		Prior to the advent of Sound on Film in 1926, the Aspect ratio was 1.33:1.
		Super 35mm is a format designed to utilize the frame area of the film that is occupied by the optical sound track, utilizing more of the picture area.
		They added 2.5mm to each side of the film which allowed two magnetic tracks to be recorded on the left and right sides of the film outside the sprocket holes and one track each was recorded on either side of the image inside the sprocket holes.

		The mistake many photographers make when they discover the advantages of medium format is that they sell their 35mm gear.
		But, the aspect ratio of the film format is a significant issue.
		The film is moderate in contrast, very fine-grained, and neutral and accurate in colour rendition.

		This category covers all of the large-format film industry, often known by the trade name 'IMAX' or 'Giant Screen.' Large format films use a film area up to 10 times bigger than conventional 35mm film, and are projected onto screens up to eight stories high.
		However, since information about the format is somewhat rare, it is expected that some submissions may be from sites with information on a variety of formats, or from sites with a variety of information, which includes super 8.
		Most modern theatrical films are created in a shape that is different from the shape of a standard television set.
