Technicolor

Technicolor helped to revolutionize the world of filmmaking in a new and exciting way. Black and white became a thing of the past as color quickly populated the frames of film. Not only was it a remarkable new way to project and illustrate stories, it allowed directors to create shorelines that relied on color in order to progress. In a film like The Wizard of Oz, color was necessary to tell the story. The world was magical and full of vibrant images. The slippers were described as ruby in the book, something that just wouldn't translate to the audience were it in black and white. The Emerald City needed to be green. The images of the world of Oz had to jump off the screen. Technicolor made this possible and created one of the most influential films of all time. With the addition of color at the movies, audiences were able to feel the fantastical worlds movies create. It helped to capture the audiences attention and transport them to different worlds.
