Movies in the 1940's were mostly filmed in black and white. But some where filmed in color, such titles as The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind, both classics. You would think that with rise of color film, they would dominate the academy awards. Actually, only one or two color films won.
One of the big names in the industry who helped phase out the black and white process was Technicolor. The are still a big name today! So its the content not the look that wins!!
I've tried watching black and white colored movies, and I just can't do it! I feel like they are "old" and I won't be able to enjoy them. Technicolor really stepped it up with the creation of "modern" movies, which all have color. The content of the movie is also important, but I think if you are used to only color, it is difficult to watch it in simple black and white.
ReplyDeleteIt’s crazy to think of anything that is only in black and white these days. Color film was a great expansion to technology and it improved living styles in general because you can experience more out of your TV and movies. Goes to show what something little can do and what we can not do without in today’s world. These little technology changes really do change culture.
ReplyDeleteColor one of the basic aspects of movies. Color to television was a different form of expression. It brought huge life to the picture. A person can feel as though they are there in person. In a science view the pixel application brought the future of tv's now. Without the RBG pixels people could not have LCD, LED, or OLED, or OCD with TVS.
