what i mean is, today, when you use a 35mm roll of celluloid and take pictures with it, you then grab it, put it through the process of developing the photo to obtain the negative. That i get, but when you’re making a movie, you have the rolls, in order to project it as a finished product you have to convert the negatives onto positive, today that’s simple you just use a high quality scanner and use something like photoshop or premiere or some program to convert it to positive.
but way back in the 1920s when there were no computers, how was this done?
how did people made the positive to then print it so you can see the finished product on the big screen instead of a negative movie.
does this make sense? or am i just confused and the process is completely different.
In: Technology
Film positives are made by making a negative of a negative. Once the image on the film is developed and fixed, it is then projected onto a piece of photo paper, which is then developed and fixed itself, this needs to be done in a dark room/enclosure, otherwise you’ll ruin the photos.
