Film Latitude

Tolerance for under- or over-exposure without excessive loss of quality (loss of shadow or highlight detail, oversize grain, loss of sharpness).

Grain

The random optical texture of film due to the presence of small particles of metallic silver.   It is an optical effect, the amount of grain depends on both the film stock, how good the exposure is, and the definition at which it is observed.
