SHOOTING 8MM MOVIES AND
FILMS
The
film
inside
the
8mm
cine
camera
is
actually
16mm,
or
double
the
width,
with the length being 7.5 meters.
One half of the entire length is expos
ed
during
each
run
After
both
sides
are
exposed
and
developed,
split
into
two
strips
and
sliced
into
8mm
width,
the film is ready for showing.
The
developing,
splitting
and
splicing
of the film are all handled by the Film
Company.
When
the
exposed
film
is
sent
to
the
film
manufacturer,
it
will
be
processed
and returned to you on a roll which can
be
inserted
into
the
projector
immedi
ately.
A reversal development converts the
8mm roll, whether black and white or
color, into a positive picture film.
Accordingly, because of its narrow lat
itude compared with the ordinary film,
it is essential that special attention
should be paid to exposure.
One
8mm
roll
of
film,
15
meters
in
length,
has
a
running
time
of
four
minutes.
In
terms
of
volume,
it
is
equivalent
to
a
16mm
film
which
is
30 meters in length.
