| | Posted: | | | | Should a film in black and white, in which a small portion of the film (such as a single character, fountain, or other piece inside a scene) was hand-color tinted - such as "The Golden Beetle" from 1907 - be considered b&w or colorized?
I consider it b&w, but I've had a comment on a contribution that the set which includes this short (and another that is color tinted from scene to scene) should be marked mixed. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | If memory serves... Ken said tinted is still considered Black and White. So it sounds to me the entire set should be marked Black and White. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, I would say Black & White as the rules currently read: Quote:
Black & White Programs that were produced in, and are displayed in, Black & White or sepia/single toned. Tone may change from scene to scene, as long as each scene is single-toned. Unless there's more than a single tone in the film that is... | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | That's the way I understood it too. "The Golden Beetle" has parts of a character tinted yellow, while "Nero, or The Fall of Rome" (1909) has different scenes tinted in different colors, but each scene is tinted only one color, so it falls under the rule for b&w as well.
Thanks guys! | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Or think of Jacques Tati's "Jour de fête": all black & white, with as I recall a colored French flag. |

| | Posted: | | | | FWIW, Sin City is like this and is marked mixed in my local and I didn't mark it. I just ran a "contribution test" to be sure (click contribute and see what shows up different, color did not show just ratings and crew cuz I keep rating details for unrated and local crew info). I agree with mixed for this case since there is a lone color more often than not. Had it been one scene at the end for a minute out of 90+, then B&W sounds more fitting to me. |
