Overexposing by ISO or by EV?

[Blacksofa]

Hi, this might be a stupid question but if I was using coloured expired film rated at ISO 400 and need to overexpose by 1 or 2 stops. Would it matter if I were to just shoot at ISO 100/200 and develop normally, or if I shoot at 400 and adjust with the exposure compensation +1 or 2 EV? Thanks!

Either. It does the same thing.

They are the same because you shoot film. For a "D" shooter they are not the same and thus they always use the exposure compensation control. In fact to many of them the exposure compensation control is the primary control for exposure.
