Meaning and scope

Definition

Photographic film support is the film base that carries a light-sensitive layer for recording a photograph. It does not determine film type, camera, development process, or period photo style.

In more detail

It is treated as the physical support for photographic recording. It is distinct from visible film grain, a digital image, and a particular camera format.
