This master thesis presents the spectrophotometric and experimental-chemical analysis as a way to understand the historical applied colors of films with the film toning technique from the early cinema era. For this project chemical experiments on film toning were performed according to historical toning recipes using modern film materials and historical nitrate film. This research focuses on the comparative analysis which investigates inconsistency among the film samples depending on the various film materials and different historical toning recipes. For this purpose, the absorption spectra were also analyzed, which were obtained by measuring the film samples with the spectrophotometer.}, language = {en} }
