How to Develop A Roll of Black-and-White Film

This is explaining how to create Black-and-White film.
To begin this step you must put the film onto a reel, easy and straight forward, right? The tools in this include: Film cassette, can opener, film reel, tank and tank cover. Be sure to memorize the place of the tools. Must be done in the dark/blind.

Alright now step 1--To start it's best bring the film from inside the cassette and grab from the flat end. The container35mm[millimeters]. Finaly peel off the end from the film from the spool by peeling off the tape that connects it.

step 2--The start is by loading the film onto a metal or plastic film reel. If you're a beginner plastic is easier, once done you put the film into the outer edge then slide it into until it is loaded. Metal requires more skill to do. It's best to practice a few times loading and unloading so you get it down. Do this in the light then once confortable practice with your eye's closed until you get good.

step 3-- To begin this step once you load the film into the tank and cover it since it's now in a light protected by a cover so no light get's through. Now it's processing time! Finaly lay out all the chemicals; [know which is which] a film developer a stop bath, and a fixer with hardener, and a hypo eliminator bath.

step 4--Make sure the temperature of the chemicals is carefully controlled. Development time is directly affected by two things: the speed of the film and the temperature of the developer, 68-70 degrees ish recommended.

step 5--
