The printing of a negative film on a negative film stock will result in: 

(A) reverse film

(B) back-to-back film

(C) film positive

(D) double negative

Correct Ans: (B)

Explanation:

Printing a negative film on a negative stock results in a back-to-back film. This process produces a film where the image appears reversed or duplicated, which can affect its usability. Unlike a positive print, which is ready for projection, this type of print is primarily used for intermediate steps in the filmmaking process.

In filmmaking, the process of printing involves transferring the image from the original negative onto a specific film stock. Typically, negatives are printed onto positive stock to create a viewable copy. However, printing a negative onto another negative stock produces a reversed effect due to the duplication of tonal values.

Furthermore, back-to-back film can sometimes serve as an intermediate element for creating special effects or editing purposes. This method ensures the original negative remains untouched and preserved for archival purposes.

In conclusion, understanding how negative’s printing works is essential for filmmakers to manage film processing effectively and avoid technical errors during production.
