Does black&white films has to be black&white edits?

Yes, since the mood of the edit has to match the mood of the film if you are fancasting both roles as a POC.

POC!Classics Week is brought to you by @mariagolightly.

What is this: POC!Classics Week is inspired by pocpotterweek and Holiday Inn on Stage because I noticed that fancasting POC actors in Classic Film roles isn’t a thing in this fandom and the fact that Classic POC actors aren’t getting a lot of recognition than Classic actors who are white. In attempt to change that, I’m going to make themed edits of People of Color for the Classic era.

What I will consider: I consider mixed-race, white-passing, and Jewish people as people of color.

How will it work:

Reblog this post if you want to join in with the editing fun.

Tag your edits with #classiceraedit, #goldenageedit, and #pocclassicsweek in the first five tags so that I can see what you’ve created.

Must use at least one POC in your edits unless they’re already a POC.

If doing a playlist, one song must either be in another language.

I will reblog your edits and tag them with your url.

Even if you don’t join in, you can always follow the blog to see what people has came up with.
