Would it be possible to measure the light temperature?

Any particular film you can recommend me for shooting

That would be good, but I'm always pretty bad with
flash shots. Furthermore, I plan to place a red piece
of velvet cloth as the background (about 2 inch behind
the subject), and I'm afraid the shadow will be
obvious. I don't own a dedicated flash unit, so it all
depends on the seldom-used built-in flash. I intended
to use a powerful torch and cover the light source
with some tissue paper to disfuse the light, and use 2
of these as a diagonal frontal lighting.

Kelvin
