Black and white filters

Is there any (non-electronic) device to convert a color image to black and white? In Shadow of the Vampire, the filmmakers were such a thing to see what is being actually filmed. --Error 02:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, you could shoot either the negative or slide the image is recorded on, or a print of the image, with a camera loaded with black and white film. That should give good results if you have a color slide, and a macro lens.

Shindler's List

Shouldn't Schindler's List get a special mention here, being consistantly rated as one of the greatest films of all time etc?

Newspapers

The majority of newspapers, according to this article, had color photographs by the LATE 70s? Er, I lived through the late 70s, and not too many newspapers that I saw had color photos. And I had been all over the country. I remember that one of the Dallas daily papers had color photos here and there in the late 70's, but I didn't see any other newspapers that had them.

I'll research it, but I don't believe that the MAJORITY of newspapers had color photos until, AT THE EARLIEST, the early '90s.

P.S. Remember that popular old childhood joke? (I was a child in the 60s and 70s). What's black and white and red ( read ) all over? A newspaper! I guess that kids don't tell that one, anymore! Slater79 14:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Use in dream-sequences

No mention is made of the film-standard of using black & white for shooting dream sequences is films and television, nor of the commonly held (though probably erroneous) belief that most people dream in black & white. (I think there's a bit of cause-and-effect here, in that the film/TV standard for shooting dream sequences in black & white has made people believe that this is actually the case in real dreams, possibly contrary to their own experiences.) At any rate, it'd be interesting to see a discussion of this added to the article. Unless there's a separate article for black & white specific to films? (This article does seem to be heavily weighted towards still photography, rather than motion pictures.) Lurlock 14:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Squad cars

Squad cars that are black and white are reffered to as "blacn-and-whites" on occasion. Please add that. -- D ef en d er 9 11 23:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Manga

Should it be mentioned that the majority of manga is printed in Black and White, as opposed to modern (and even old) western comics?71.114.94.46 (talk) 08:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit war

Two editors have been going back and forth with major changes, with no convergence. If you could both comment here on the point of your edits, or why you prefer one version of the other, maybe we could find a way to a compromise. No more edits or reverts to the article until you do so here, please. Dicklyon (talk) 15:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
