When we watch films from early cinema that were produced before 1906 or 1907, we are surprised that colors were added to some of them. Moreover, some people notice that these colors tend to vibrate. How, then, should the colors in early films and their vibrations be understood?
The color of early films has been explained through the perspective of a few particular terms: primarily "aesthetic," "metaphor," "reproduction," and "attraction." However, it is no exaggeration to say that among the studies using these words, the discussion of color in early cinema has hardly produced a good solution for the vibrations. The solution is incomplete and vibrations are given the same value as other similar colors. From previous studies, we can understand some relationships between color and sensitivity, between color and meaning, and between color and culture or society. But they have not included the critical issue of the body. In order to understand the vibration of color, it is necessary to clarify this issue.
Therefore, this essay references previous discussions of color in early cinema in order to consider the vibration of color through the perspective of the body.
