Tech/Engineering - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama | | English term or phrase: British dupe negative | The following excerpt is taken from a DVD bonus audio commentary where image restoration techniques are being discussed.
"This is a shot from a British dupe negative and it had a very bad tear in it here. The British dupe negative quality
isn't very good because it's many generations
down from the original."
I really can't find anything anywhere, I would appreciate any help. Thanks. |
| | | نسخة نيجاتيف انجليزية | Explanation:
نسخة نيجاتيف أبيض وأسود
أعتقد أن انجليزية أو بريطانية هنا هي لأسباب تاريخية وليس لأسباب فنية فعلى حد علمي لا توجد نسخ نيجاتيف باسم جنسية معينة ولكن المعروف أن الانجليز كانوا روادا في عمل نسخ النيجاتيف 35 ملم بالأبيض والأسود كما قام الأمريكان بدورهم في نفس المجال، ولذلك أميل لإغفال كلمة بريطانية أو انجليزية واستبدالها بالأبيض والأسود إشارة إلى البعد التاريخي والله اعلم
DUPE NEGATIVE: A duplicate negative, made from a master positive by printing and development or from an original negative by printing followed by reversal development.

A more detailed explanation:
DUPLICATE (DUPE) NEGATIVE
A negative film produced by printing from a positive. It is used to produce prints. These prints are duplicates of prints that might be made from the original negative. A negative, usually struck from a fine grain positive print, generally used to make multiple reproductions of prints. A dupe negative preserves the original negative from damage during the process of creating more prints. A "composite duplicate negative" carries both image and sound in synchronization.
