請觀察空格前的描述：文中提到彩色技術在當時僅被用於「特殊作品（special productions）」，這代表它在當時並非主流。那麼，當一個技術從「少數人用的特殊規格」轉變到「1950 年代之後的普遍狀態」時，我們會如何形容這個技術在行業中的地位變化呢？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文意中的轉折，這代表你對長篇文章的脈絡掌握得非常扎實，這在處理克漏字題型中是極為關鍵的能力。
電影技術的普及化過程
這題的解題核心在於理解「普及程度」的對比。文中提到，彩色技術雖然在接下來的二十年內已被「用於特殊作品（special productions）」，但直到 1950 年代才真正達成某種狀態。根據上下文的邏輯，既然前面提到它是「特殊的」、「被延遲的」，那麼空格處最合理的發展就是指它「成為常態」或「普及化」，因此 become a norm 是唯一符合電影工業發展史與文意脈絡的選項。
