Brief history of color in cinema
4Hand colored films
Pathé Color, dating from around 1905
Hand coloring evolved to a fairly high level of sophistication, as can be seen in the frame from The Last Days of Pompeii produced in Italy in 1926.
5Kinemacolor
First successful color system
A simpler system using two colors was developed in 1906 and then Kinemacolor was born
Kinemacolor was one of Technicolor's primary rivals in the period prior to 1920.
The Delhi Durbar (1912) – British color documentary
6Cinecolor
Cinecolor Corporation came into being in 1932
Cinecolor used two films in "bi-pack", meaning that two films were placed emulsion to emulsion
The first feature film to use the process was The Gentleman from Arizona
Color recording capability of Cinecolor was not accurate, it was, nonetheless realistic looking.
1948 Super Cinecolor with three colors came
7Kodachrome (1935)
Subtractive color processes proved far more practical to exhibit than were additive systems. This is because standard projectors could be used to show the films which had only one composite color record for each frame.
Recorded its color records on separate frames, using a camera carrying two negatives

At the moment, I don't think color film is anything more than a commercial gimmick. I don't know a single film that uses color well…….
In everyday life we seldom pay any special attention to color. ……
On the screen color imposes itself on you, whereas in real life that only happens at odd moments, so it's NOT right for the audience to be constantly aware of color. ”
Andrei Tarkovsky, 1966 Interview

31Visual Name : Girl in the red coat
The irony of personalizing this color that symbolizes both birth and death sets us up for the shock when we last see her, lifeless, in the pile of nameless corpses traveling to a mass grave.
Her coat is not pink, the color of little girls. It isred, robbed of its power.
