The extent of my knowledge about the characteristics of motion picture Film (celluloid) has come from reading books and observing working professionals. I have been shooting still photography for years and I am now anxious to learn cinematography.
So my "newbie" question is this: Is it possible to outfit a 35mm SLR camera with 35mm motion picture film stock? I do understand that moving picture frames require different skills to handle shutter angle, DoF and so on. However, for right now, I am only interested in exploring how different film stocks react to different lighting scenarios and light values. I want to experiment without the ?motion? properties for right now. I am not going to spend money for an entire roll of film stock. Perhaps a very small spool of short end film will work.
Also, if possible how would I compensate for aspect ratio? Perhaps there is a focusing screen made for this very intent.
Lastly, using cine lenses are a must. Are there any mounts available that that will attach to a SLR camera?
Thank you and I look forward to some feedback.
