| I don't get it. Is this a processing challenge? A free study where we need to process to look like film? |

You can blame me.
It's pretty much as you say, but that opens up a muchness of possibilities. There are a whole bunch of plugins and filters (including those for phones) that make this really easy to accomplish - VSCO, Analogue Efex Pro, Snapseed to name just a few. And then the manual routes of applying 'grain' (noise), managing contrast profiles, tones and colours. Throw in some fun with light leak overlays (the flagged special rule) if you want and you're good to go.
I think the trick will be to create a happy marriage between subject and processing.
I recently shot a couple of rolls of Fuji Superior 200 and was struck with how very different the images (particularly the colours) were compared to my digital work. Of course, we can't enter film images in actual challenges, but we can emulate - that's what this challenge is about - exploring a filmic look through software-based emulation.
I predict some lovely images.

i almost was going to wag my finger and shake my head and say, "no no... pp light leaks are not allowed under Advanced" ... but then i saw the flag and Extra Rule.
yeah! |

Would some of the filters in analog efx be illegal? |

So from the other thread, this link was being used
Texture mate
So we can apply these filters to whatever we take?

Yes, but they are all customisable. Given that we already allow for textures and we have the light leaks special rule, it's really only the motion blur and multiple image your need to look out for. They can be de-ticked from any of the presets. The one I think might be a judgement call would be 'multiple exposure' - it's possible to use one part of an image as a texture over the whole (if sufficiently transparent) but I'm not at all clear how the various members of SC would rule in relation to that uncharted territory.

I would say double exposure, multi-lens and bokeh filters would be off limits, and probably some others as well. There's a warp one, isn't there? I wouldn't use that.
Edit: Sorry, posted right after Paul, who is certainly the authority here.

I don't recognise 'warp' but I'm pretty sure bokeh would be fine unless it was made so extreme so as to become a new feature in its own right - I.e with a very narrow zone of transition. |

The application of images used as textures are allowed in any Advanced rules challenge. |

I guess I was thinking of lens distortion. Thanks for the clarification on this. |

I think that would be OK - but you are right to flag it. I see it as little different (in principle) to using 'skew' in Photoshop to square something up. |

Unless you "really care" about your overall average score, there is no reason to skip any challenge for which you have time to shoot ... remember the idea of the site is to get you to try something you haven't done before -- there's no reason to expect to get it perfect the first time, but maybe you'll get help in getting it "better" the next time. |

naaa don't care about scores, I just am not understanding this whole thing of what is needed or expected. Totally lost.. sitting in left field at the moment -))
I feel a block in my grey matter and its not getting through.
If it is just a matter of applying a "special filter" than I think I would be ok.. just for some reason I may be making it harder than what I think it should be |

Different films can have characteristic looks, mostly involving how saturated the different colors will look and the amount of apparent film grain ("noise" in the digital world).
In the only example (of mine) I could find I tried to give this shot the look of an aged print from my childhood (1950-60s) ...  |

is it talking about the old negative film for when it was processed way back when I was in highschool?

Yes, basically try to make you digital photo look as if it was taken on film, whatever kind of film you want. |
