Duck tape? Absolutely not. The only things you can use to splice film, are film splicing tape, or film cement.

Even a tiny misalignment of the sprockets will start this, it's really critical. If you want to be cheap, I suggest to use a cement type splicer, since you can make cement easily enough, and it avoids needing the special tape.
I can't really tell from that photo if that's a splicer for "press-tape", or for cement. I think it's a press tape type splicer, but it's not a type I am familiar with. The first one you showed me is for cement.
Here's a website of one of the only companies still making film supplies:

Also, the following forum is really great - they helped me a lot since I started this stuff
