284 AMATEUR MOVIE MAKING
Last but not least, it makes possible the truthful reproduction of beautiful landscapes with their wealth of the most delicate gradation, and with the creamy clouds floating in a darkening sky. Sunsets and flowers in their full riot of color are imaged with their full range of tone. This film alone is full justification for the use of the positive-negative process. In fact, for the amateur who is working seriously and who desires the best possible results, the positive-negative process holds tremendous possibilities.
After reading these two articles I am sure that you will agree that the question of reversal versus two-film is not a question of superiority but rather a question of choosing the film which is best suited for the work in hand. Thus the film of casual interest could be made upon the reversal film, while the film in which color value is of importance could be made upon panchromatic negative stock. The two films, while competitive, should help each other, for after all a purchaser of any commodity prefers to have a choice in the matter rather than to be forced to purchase just one definite thing.
There is room for both films in amateur cinematography, both serve definite purposes and neither could be dispensed with without the loss being felt.
In addition to the arguments set forth in the two articles just presented, there is one other which must have been made apparent. The reversal process, while it has time after time been successfully performed by experimenters is not as practical for the home finisher as is the two film process. Simple negative development is a fixed chemical reaction and there is no reason whatever why any amateur who cares to do so cannot develop his own negatives.
Development of the Negative. — In either process, the development of the negative offers little difficulty, it is the exposure and development of the positive which requires the care. In the two film process, a loss of the print means only the loss of the film stock, for the negative, the master film, is not injured. In addition to this, the only control
