Kodachome is an old film that was discontinued in 2010. It has a very odd development proses where its black and white and during the development you add colour this film was used for slides as it was used for slides as it was a positive and the cost of development was included in the price of the film Sadly the chemicals were discontinued . You can according to some lomogrpahy users develop it in black and white, by washing the film and adding dye to it after to bring out the contrast. Although I have seen other examples where they didn't use a dye and it still worked. The pictures here have been scanned in and were not processed in the dark room.

The blue dye gives it a destroyed film a destroyed look to it. I like that the film is also very thin in the exposure as you can tell it hasn't been done to how it was designed to be done and looks very hand made. Auratus lomogrpahy user wrote the article on this proces and he described how he did this and showed hos results. The results look like it was from trip. I like how he jumped into the unknown of developing the film, and took him a few attempts to get it right, and even know I have a fair guess at to what he has done to guide me, my film is older and more expired than the one he uses and will have to try different exposures and different iso's for the film as the emulsion would have degraded.

When I did mine, at first glance it hadnt worked, but the next day I looked closer to find that the negatives were super faint and thought if I went for a high contrast in the darkroom, I would be able to get an image out of it, although I managed one, I scaned them in to get some better results.
Although this isn't pre-production, I would have chosen to use an expired and outdated film, and would have to deal with the proces that came after.
