In fact a lot of raw footage that has appeared in movies from wwi through the present day many times is not of the location, time, etc. Many people making these movies are not historians and many times they do not get good advice or review by specialists if they even use them at all. They may be based on some premises that are accurate, but there are thousands of historical inaccuracies in movies that have been produced. If it is not originally filmed in HD, then it's not real HD. Truth: There were no HD cameras in World War II, you cannot upsize so to speak with the resolution and turn 2D photography into high definition. Some are better than others with the flesh tones and uniforms. Look at the trees you may see and you cannot discern any leaves. What you see is computer enhancement / colorization. Truth: In Europe the majority of film that was shot and what has survived is black and white. Myth 2: Wow that's great color on that show. So if the film and if its sound quality are good, typical scenes are award ceremonies and similar events. When sound appears, the sound is typically done with a static microphone. The cameras of the day did not have sound built in, they required a second operator with a sound boom/mike to capture the sound. Truth: Most of the footage taken in combat situations was actually silent film. Myth 1: All the sound you hear is awesome!
