Filmstrips are a form of instructional multimedia that display a series of images with or without narration. They consist of a long strip of plastic film coated with light-sensitive emulsion containing silver halide crystals. Traditionally, filmstrips are 35mm wide and contain 20-50 frames to convey lessons. They are used with a filmstrip projector to display images on a screen. Filmstrips provide a convenient way to make classroom teaching interesting through sequenced visuals but require a dark room and electricity to project. They have advantages of being reusable and easy to store, but pictures cannot be reordered and equipment can be costly. Proper care involves rolling, labeling, and storing filmstrips away from heat and moisture.

called pictural filmstrips
• probably the first filmstrips produced in a complete
set.
• Those melted with intense and sustained heat of
projection lamp.

6. • Now available filmstrips are plastic film base coated
on one side with gelatin emulsion containing
microscopically small light sensitive silver halide
crystals (silver + halogen).

7. •Traditionally available filmstrips are 35mm
wide
• Most consist of single frame pictures about ¾ *
1inch in size containing 20 to 50 frames and
several feet in length

8. Some are single sided
some are double
sided

9. Some are also accompanied by records and are
called sound filmstrips. They contain narration,
sound, music etc.

15. A common slide filmstrip projector

16. Steps on film strip projector uses
1. Place the slide projector on a rigid and stable
table
2. Place the screen at an appropriate place
3. Insert the film strip carrier in its place after

Requires simple skill to operate and is
convenient aid for making classroom teaching

The transfer of original material to film makes
first filmstrip fairly costly

Requires darkroom and electricity
The bulb is fragile and not readily available
The apparatus can be costly
