Uprating (up rated)
A technique in which the suggested film speed is deliberately exceeded, by setting a higher speed on the camera, so causing underexposure, and then balanced by overdevelopment. Also known as "pushing".

Uprating. Shooting film at more than the manufacturer's suggested speed rating, e.g. exposing 400 ISO film as if 800 ISO. The film is then given extra development.
