- 11h00: The group arrives at our Shop Laboratory at the 13, rue de la Bombarde 69005 to end the shooting part and initiate the developpment part of the day of the films shot during the morning. The Professor handles the developpment of the participants' films in front of the students by showing them the use and theory of this step. During developpment students will be given blank film to practice film spooling, the usage of a developping tank and use of the chemistry. The developpment part of the day will end with the films being dried and stored for a moment, this will give the participants a break to lunch. (Lunch isn't included in the price).
