Sup /p/, tommorow I'm getting an slr 35mm film camera for free with a selection of lenses and accessories, so that I can have a good play with it and get used to photography, only problem is, it comes with no film.

I was just wondering about the different types of film (brand, color, etc.) and how much difference I'll notice in my photos depending on the film I get.

Googling those just gave me a bunch of links on how to simulate the colors/contrast with photoshop. Not OP and not trying to find examples, since I already know what they look like.

That might have been your problem.

if you want to know about photographic film look at the ISO value of the 35mm film, the higher the ISO the more supseptible to light it is, for example a higher ISO film would be good for longer exposure shots like sunrises or sunsets / night portraits that kinda thing where your average ISo (round about 150) is good for general film. as for the makes ive found that some of the cheaper brands work just aswell as the more expensive brands. hpe this helps.

OP here, thanks for the input.

Ok, after quite a bit of research I'm gonna give these films a try (hopefully)

Kodak Elite 100
Fujifilm Velvia 100
Ilford Pan F Plus
Ilford Delta 3200
Kodak TRI-X 400
Fujifilm Velvia 50

Any others that I should really give a go? or any of these that I should actually steer clear of?

just keep in mind that some of those are slide films and will need special processing.

Get yourself some Delta 400 or Hp5 400 both great films And you can push and pull them all over the place

The cheapest drugstore film you can find. If you're just getting used to photography you should just try to burn through as much film as possible at the lowest price. Once you feel like your keeper rate is increasing, it's time to look at nicer film.

Any good books/sites on composition?

I'd like to start a photography course, but unfortunately I'm already doing a course along side my job. And this is more of a hobby anyway

This. Don't try tough films like Delta 3200, Pan-F, Velvia, or Elite. You can't learn on them, they're not all that easy to expose. They're also, except Elite, specialty films for certain purposes. Just use general purpose films like Tri-X, Ilford HP5 and drugstore color film until you get the hang of it, and then wait a little while.
