Why were most movies from the late 1890s until the early 1930s only filmed in black and white? The film used to make color motion pictures often overheated, which was a safety hazard, so it was generally not allowed. There were only a few people who could afford the technology to produce color motion pictures back then. Color films had to be hand-colored, frame by frame. Audiences did not want color motion pictures until later.

Color films had to be hand-colored, frame by frame.

Explanation:

Colored films were a rarity during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most movies were produced in black and white as the production of colored films was a difficult task as the films have to be hand-colored, frame by frame.

However, things began to change with the development of art and technology. While the dye is used to tint the color of certain scenes before, the new development in the films allows the capture of all scenes in color. But this does not mean that all films are shot in color. Most films continued to be shot in black and white even after the development of colored films.
