Film

Types of Film

Modern film consists of a transparent material, usually acetate, which has been coated with a light-sensitive emulsion. Film is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including 35-millimeter and 6-centimeter roll film, 4-by-5 and 8-by-10 sheet film. Within each film format there are a range of film types (black and white, color print, or color transparency) and sensitivity levels, called film speeds, that are appropriate for use in different lighting conditions.
