The type of film stock used for newsreel production has an important bearing on the acceptability of the finished product, but usually there is not much choice in the usable emulsion. Most unexpected events seem to occur under conditions of minimum light which necessitates fast emulsion with consequent coarser grain. Even if extra lights can be arranged, the conditions often result in high contrasts at the scene with consequent flare and poor shading during telecasting. The usual emulsion for all-round work seems to be either Du Pont 330 which is a fine-grain reversal film, Du Pont 314A and 301 A for negative-positive use, and in the Eastman Kodak line, Super-XX panchromatic 5242 for negative use and Kodak Super-X reversal panchromatic 5261. Color is almost never used for news film work for the reason of light availability and the somewhat ephemeral value of news ma- terial. Probably "never" could have been stated, but since there is always the exception to the rule someone somewhere may be using it occasionally.
