some tips include making sure you measure out the ingredients to make the solutions. As this will effect the outcome of your images.

wear clothes that are you wont be bothered about if some of the solution gets on them.

Make sure that when you are loading the film into the beaker and the process of this, make sure you have everything you need in place and ready to use. This will make it easier to find and you wont be panicking about where your equimpent is in the dark.

When the film is in the beaker, make sure the lid of the beaker is srood on tight. This will make sure you dont lose an of the solution and you have the right measurements of the solution to make sure the image works at the end.

when you are agitating the beaker with the film and solution inside i suggest agitating it for about 20/25 minutes and agitating it for 5 time every minute.

Also you may want to use googels to make sure you do not get any solution in your eyes.

What you will need:

1L of water

54g washing soda ( you can get this at super markets

16g ascorbic acid ( Vitim C) crystals

40g of instant coffee

1g of potassium bromide OR 10g of idolized table salt (we opted for this)

Developing tank

Fixer

First of all you need to assemble the ingredients and get them all ready to start with.
You need washing soda which you can get at the super-market. Ascorbic acid can be found in shops like health food shops or baking shops. You can use potassium bromide. However, we used idolized table salt as it was cheaper and more effective and eco-friendly. The idolized salt reduces fogging within the film.

You then make the two solutions for this process. For solution A mix 54g of washing soda with 300ml of water in a beaker.

For solution B you then mix 16g of asborbic acid. Then you 40g of coffee and 10g of salt with 700ml of water. After doing this will make up 1L of developer. However, 300ml-350ml would be enough to develop one roll of film. However, when we were doing this process we made up more developer for the whole class.

After you have done solution A and B you then mix the two solutions together in a beaker and stir until the crystals have dissolved completely.

Developing:

When developing you have to work in the dark room due to the film being sensitive to light. You will want to load the film onto a spiral and then place into the developing tank. Be careful, you don’t want to touch the film. You now, after you have done this step work in daylight.

After you have done this step you will want to pour the solution into the tank and develop for 15 minutes. After the solution is in the tank you will want to agitate 3 times per minute.

When 15 minutes are up you need to wash the film with water to get rid of the coffee and then place the film into the fixer.

Place the film under running water to get rid of the fixer and then hang the film up to dry.

Confenol is a developer chemical agen that reduces the silver halides on your film or paper. You can use coffee or tea as they both eco- friendly and contain caffeic acid. This solution behaves like the conventional developing agent. The addition of asboric acid which is vitim C. The solution improves constrast and devloping times. The washing soda is used to turn the solution alkaline to active the developing agents.

First of all we captured the images on a analogue camera. We visited brick lane and we captured abstract art. We then gathered the chemical
componants which included instant coffee, indised salt and crystals.
after we had done this we measured out the ingredients.

we then mixed solution A and B and prepped the trays

after we had completed this we then went onto loading the film which i thought went well and we did correctly.

We then developed the film for 15 mins
washed the film with water

What happened and what went wrong:
Our films all came out purple, thin and blank it was a total failure. We came to the conclusion that we should have given the film more time to develope (more than 15 minutes) maybe about 20/25 minutes? Also, i feel we should of agitated it more than three times every minute. To allow the film to develope more and maybe we would have had a better outcome.
