Colour
The first use of colour was in films such as Voyage a Travers L'lmpossible by the poineer Georges Melies in 1904. Here the film was hand printed frame by frame. This is fake colour. Editors would use micro scopes and very small paint brushes to paint the filming.
The next development was the introduction of two-strip technicolor using only red and green, example "The mystery of the wax museum" (1933)
The first three strip technicolor was Becky Sharp (1935).
From the 1930's to the 1940's, black and white represented reality and colour represented fantasy and spectacle, an example of this is "Wizard Of Oz" (1939)
