Add that to the camping gear and all your photography stuff, that's gonna make for an interesting bag to carry. But not all of the jotunheimen is steep.
I wouldn't bring a lot of extra boxes. Easiest might be to limit yourself to N and maybe choose one for high contrast. You already have to bring boxes with film too. You might want to put some tape on the edges of film boxes, so they don't get damaged in a rucksack. I would limit the amount of film holders too, all that loose stuff in your pack is gonna be annoying. I always try to do with as little equipment as I can when trekking, working out of a pack is quite cumbersome when you have to dig for stuff all the time.
When choosing a changing tent, I would go for one where you can remove the poles (expensive) or a changing bag. The ones that fold up stay quite big and aren't usually up to the stresses of trekking.
There are a few areas around lake Gjende that are quite green with some trees (mostly birch) but when you get a little higher up it's mostly grey or brown with some grass or moss every now and again.
Beware that you will want to keep coming back once you've been there.
