Kodak TRI-X 7278

R

Rivet

I hope nobody minds tadding another thread, but I couldnt find one that this question would fit with. I am considering a Kodak's TRI-X 7278 film stock for testing and learning and a project later on. I chose this film stock because it is a B&W reversal. I have the data sheets printed out, and from what I can tell with my limitated knowledge of these tables and graphs, this is a film that has a sharp contrast and larger grain. This is exactly what I am looking for, as I am trying to get a look that has very extreme color differentiation, with a grainy apearance. I could really use some of you experienced cinematographers opinions, as I have never selected film stock before. Here is a link to the stocks specifications. http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/16mm/products/bw/tech7278.jhtml?id=0.1.4.5.8.14.4&lc=en

Depends if you are shooting inside or outside.

Plus-X is a slower speed film, good for exterior.

Tri-X is faster, good for interior.

Btw, both cost $22-ish direct from Kodak, per 100-ft load. :)

Tri-X is a very very grainy stock. It's often used for student films at older film schools because it's easy to get an exposure andit's an all purpose grainy reversal film.
