Edward Hiscox Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 This may be an obvious question. But does using orange or red filters with 16mm Kodak Double X have the same affect as with 35 or 120 photography film stock? Can't really see any examples from Google.

Sustaining Member Willem Jansen Posted June 9, 2020 Sustaining Member Share Posted June 9, 2020 Is it also recommended to use colour filters while shooting Double X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member David Mullen ASC Posted June 9, 2020 Sustaining Member Share Posted June 9, 2020 You'd use them for the same reasons you'd use them on any b&w panchromatic film, to alter color contrast. Now indoors where contrast is also controlled by lighting, they are used less often unless you want to play around with flesh tone response (make people look paler by using a red filter, etc.) though again with careful lighting, you could overexpose a face separately from the background. Outdoors they get used all the time to alter contrast in colors (redder filters make skies and shadows go darker because they have blue in them, faces and lips get lighter because they have red in them, green filters make plants lighter, freckles on faces are more obvious, etc.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albion Hockney Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You should look into the cinematography of the lighthouse which was shot on Double X with a custom color filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
