Hello dear Sec 1 girls,
Here are some more tips on making your second pinhole camera ya.
You need to buy the new roll of film on your own. It'll cost about $5-6 per new roll.
Use 35mm film. Tell the shopkeeper you want 200 or 400 ISO film.
200 ISO is the standard that we used the first time.
400 ISO film is more sensitive to light, so if you want to, you can try using that instead.
Either 200 or 400 is fine.
Remember this is for your Education Badgework and your OBJECTIVE is to produce at least ONE fairly successful developed photograph PER GROUP from your pinhole cameras.

Watch this video again for the steps on how to make the basic juicebox pinhole camera:
Here is a reminder on how pinhole cameras work:
"Pinhole cameras are the one of the simplest and oldest types of cameras. In a pinhole camera, light passes through a light-proof container through a tiny hole. The light streams through the box and projects an image on the back of the box's interior, to which a piece of film has been affixed. An image then develops on the face of the film much in the same way that it does in a typical 35mm film camera. It is possible to purchase pinhole cameras, but most users choose to make their own. Pinhole cameras can easily be made from common household objects. Due in part to their low cost and ease of use, the creation and use of pinhole cameras is often taught in elementary photography courses."

IMPORTANT TIPS:
1) Paint the inside of your juicebox with non-shiny black paint. That means don't use acrylic paint, rather use poster paint. If the poster paint cannot stick to the foil inside of the juicebox, then use a marker to colour the inside instead.
2) Use a paper clip or a key to wind your film from the new roll to the old roll. Stick it into the top of the old roll and wind COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ya, making sure the film winds form the new roll into the old roll.
3) Make sure you TAPE DOWN the top part where you wind the film with a paper clip or key because if you don't, your new roll will likely spring back and unravel whatever you've wound. This will mean your film will remain empty as it will not get any exposure to the light coming in form the pinhole.

Here are some extra facts, just for fun :) :
i) Worldwide Pinhole Camera Day Gallery (see the successful results of pinhole cameras) here.
ii) Some other Pinhole Camera photographs on Flickr here.
iii) You can make Pinhole Cameras out of almost ANYTHING. See here.

Do email or come approach me during recess slots next week should you have any questions ya!
So again, your objective is to produce at least ONE fairly successful developed photograph PER GROUP from your pinhole cameras.
Bring your pinhole cameras and $5 per group for the GB meeting on the 15th of October.
I will help you remove your film and send it for treatment so we can see whether anything developed on the film.
If you have successful film, you can bring it to the shops to develop into photos.
The cost of developing film into photos is 35 cents per photo. :)
