For the background that I created, i cut the strips in one length for the hole set up. I liked these film stripes because they were black and white and almost to small to see what pictures are there. So when the viewers view it they have to look really close and really into the background to see what its really about. Whats successful about my backdrop is the film strips weren't all the same so it doesn't look like one big fat film strip. I also like how each strip has its own story because of the different pictures on each one. I would probably change the length of the film strips so that they are not all the same length but not dragging all over the place.
