Term Details
Term: Black Leader
Subcategory: Product
Definition: Also known as Black Emulsion Leader.  It is an opaque black film used by a negative cutter when he/she is getting A&B rolls ready.  Plastic leader cannot be used for A&B rolls because it cannot be cement spliced like an emulsion leader can be.  Not all black pieces of film are the same; the more opaque it is, the better.
