Question

For Tower: During the animation sequences, why did the director choose to

switch between color and black and white? Give specific details to support
your answer.

Answer 1

To make the production more artistic, more mature and to intensify the tone of the documentary.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tower" is an animated documentary that aims to show the 1966 shootings that took place at the University of Texas at Austin. The documentary is highly artistic, but it is not a work aimed at children. This is because it shows a sad and traumatic moment and presents itself as a dense, serious and reflective work.

In order to intensify these characteristics, it was decided that the production would have alternating colors in black and white sequences, which perfectly matched the proposal of the documentary.
