Hi there! I'm a novice collector, but I need some advice on cameras, film stock, and equipment.

For a college assignment, I need to replicate the look of a 70's film authentically, not digitally. I do not need the final product to be nice and clear looking, in fact I'm purposefully aiming to use expired stock to get some heavy looks of aging and decay for the purposes of the assignment. What do you guys recommend in terms of cameras, film stock, and even audio equipment that would be authentic to the 70's movie-making process? I'm on a student's budget so I can't go totally crazy. I'm thinking 16mm.
I'm not very experienced, so please go easy on me!

If anyone knows any good resources/articles, too, please let me know! Thank you all so much!

I have been shooting film for a while. In fact, I just wrapped up a short I've been working on for 6 years this past Friday. For 16mm I would recommend a Bolex H16 or Bell and Howell Filmo. If buying from Ebay, you may get one that works "some times."

Film stock: I would recommend a color stock. Negative has more flexibility but for that authentic 70's look, look for Ektachrome 7285, not the newer formula. If you shoot negative, you could manipulate the image, but I'm not a fan of that myself.

Reach out via DM if you want more specifics :)
