The light coming from the photographed object (not image) reacts to convert the silver bromide (AgBr, transparent colloid)) on the film into black (nontransparent) Ag crystals.

This is the negative (reversed) image of the (positive) object.

The same story with a dark object: no light, no Ag crystals = not black, still transparent!

Why do pictures come out negative in film rolls?

Film works by absorbing the light that hits it. The more light that hits an area on the film (meaning the brighter that part of the scene is), the darker the film will get. Slide film, which produces a positive image, works the same way. You get a positive image by developing the film, producing a negative image in the exposed silver grains, then developing the film again in a different developer that works on the silver grains not exposed in the camera.
