Color Negative and Color Positive Film for Motion Picture Use

A color film for use in an ordinary 35mm motion picture camera is described. This film contains colored couplers which, upon development to a negative, lead to three-color negative records which are almost fully corrected. The development procedures and the sensitometric characteristics are described. The spectral-density characteristics of the individual images are included. This film is printed on a color positive film. The spectral-density characteristics of the dye images obtained in the positive, the development conditions and the sensitometric characteristics of the positive are given. The printing may be done on an ordinary continuous contact printer. However, scene-to-scene color-balance changes require more complicated equipment. The sensitometric characteristics of the sound-track image and the method of developing this image are described. The color positive film may also be used for making prints from black-and-white color-separation negatives.
