Conclusion

Through my research I have discovered a lot about the differences between digital and film, I like how with film it is a physical thing. It is something you have to craft from when you buy the film to when you produce an image in the dark room, which has many possibilities to manipulate your image pre and post production. Unlike digital I have found  that it is far easier to use as its available to more people and far easier to get started in photography due to the digital age. The different experimental techniques that have been used are so specific to the media of film and digital that its hard to directly compare what you have found out. Experimenting with chemicals to affect the colour of a picture is similar to the filter and the use of post production software such as photoshop,  you may get similar effect but they are very different. I like how using film gives you a different creative movement in your photography than using digital. There are more decisions that can be made to change the final outcome of the picture. Film and digital are very similar and it all comes down to preference and situation, where I prefer film now, I would say that I didn’t last year, I have discovered that he different styles of camera with film compared to the very generic digital camera set up is why I prefer film as it gives people a chance to choose different types of focusing such as range finders, to guessing or external ones, and you learn your cameras quirks, where as digital they are all so similar. It all comes down to your preference and what you want to achieve with the medium.

I think that the way I will use the artist is by directly comparing them in a shoot, and choosing and artist then directly compare it to the digital image. I think that I could do many things such as look into cameraless and directly compare the 2 different types of work. I think it will work well. I will need to learn how to use the dark room better that i did, and work on how I use it. I think I will be a learning curve to initialy use film and get a good comparison but by the end I think I will have a good grasp using film in the dark room.
