HEY GUYS! For my YEAR 12 Research Project I am analyzing "digital natives and the renaissance of FILM PHOTOGRAPHY". I need whoever can spare even a tiny bit of time to answer the survey below. IT TAKES 2 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

I am not sure what digital natives are.

Only a couple of the questions were applicable to me as a digital photographer, so I have replied to those.

You need to correct the grammatical mistake in the first line and the spelling mistake in Question 2.

I’m guessing, but I expect that a “digital native” is a person who has only ever taken digital photographs and never used film.

I last used film in 2015, but I’d still consider myself a photographer who uses film, just not recently. The thousands of negatives and slides in boxes certainly tell that story.

If that is the definition, I am not a digital native.

I shot film for many years but do so no longer.

For a twelve year old the questions show a suspicious understanding of film photography and are quite astute, either that or he's older and still trying to graduate from Uni after twelve years trying. So there is possibly a parents influence. As for 'digital native' I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, spellcheckers can mangle the best of intentions.

Who or what is a “digital native” ?

'Digital' derives from digit, that is Latin for finger. I presume that a digital native is a newborn child who uses his fingers instead of the thumb for sucking.

Year 12 = 18 years old.

So allowed to wear long trousers at school then but not old enough to know how to use the caps lock. I rescind the benefit of the doubt I so generously gave, if this person is old enough to drive they should also know how to construct a paragraph that doesn't look like a twelve year old wrote it!

I sort of gave up when I had to start clicking on 'other'. It's a problem I often find with Survey Monkey (for some reason).

I abandoned film quite happily in the early 2000's. I dabbled back in last year. The reason and pretty much only reason is that I like the 'baked in' look of certain film stock - the grain, the contrast. I really like Fuji Neopan for example.

The reason I went back to digital is because of the cost of processing and scanning. The scans started to be an issue because the lab wasn't cleaning the negative before scanning. I was never happy with home scanning 120 film. The whole thing got arduous and expensive. It was fun to shoot, I liked the end result (when it was good), but it wasn't miles better than a good digital file with some processing to look more like Neopan (for example), which took virtually no money and less than half the time to produce.
