Isn't it difficult to follow the yellow brick road if there is no color? Around 1910, film tinting became pretty popular. Film tinting used monochromatic color for a typically silent film. In addition, sepia colored film were also becoming a trend (as seen in the top left photo and bottom video). Color allows the audience to understand the feelings and themes of the film. The Wizard of Oz is a great example of film using color. Though the original film was still successful using sepia, revamping the film using color made it extraordinary. Everyone always remembers the line, "Follow the yellow brick road!". With color, now the road is even more memorable.
In addition to color, sound in film began to evolve around the 1930s. Sound and music can make in exceptional difference within a film. My Dad always told me that the key to a good horror film is the music. That music can make you feel incredibly eerie, full of suspense, and terror when there is almost nothing going on in the scene. Music and sound fills the audience with much emotion. It allows them to connect to the film in an amazing way.
