Black and White (media)

Black and white indicates the visual arts and graphic technique on monochrome images that vary in brightness, not color . Black and white images consist of black , white and intermediate shades of gray . Other colors such as sepia possible.

Most visual technologies arose originally in black and white. Later color versions were developed.

==Colorize [  edit ] == For manual coloring of a black and white image (for example, a drawing or a black-and-white, or images of a black and white film) can be distinguished:
 * Photography was originally black and white; the mid-twentieth century, color photography rise. B & W remains for artistic reasons. Color is not evident. Photographers and directors often opt for black and white because the colors might behave partly they collide or do not fit together.
 * Many newspapers and other printed matter were black and white until the seventies. Even after they limited the color to the front page and other prominent pages, and other pages remain black and white to save costs.
 * Movies and cartoons were originally black and white. On a small scale was experimented with color, also with hand coloring. During the thirties tofifties developed the color film itself. The first color animated film was Flowers and Trees (1932) from the Walt Disney Studios .
 * Color is the mid- sixties the norm in the cinema, already appeared already in the thirties color films such as The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and Gone with the Wind (1939).
 * In the decades following the black and white film was a living art form, as in Night of the Living Dead (1968), Rumble Fish (1983), the seven-time Oscar-winning film Schindler's List (1993), The Man Who Was not There (2001) Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) and The Good German(2006). In Rumble Fish and Schindler's List there are scenes in which colored accents are added. In Rumble Fish, this is a goldfish, and Schindler's List a red kids jacket. There are also films that play with the distinction between color and black and white on the other hand, such as Pleasantville(1998) and Memento (2000).
 * Originally television broadcasts black and white. Color broadcasts started in the fifties, and were current from the sixties and seventies .


 * manual one copy (or a copy separately) color
 * with modern means: "manual" (with a computer), a black and white image (or many black and white images, like an old black and white film), coloring, and then use modern methods of reproduction; in the coloring of a film, the computer can help to avoid having to color each picture
 * manual lithography stones (one per color) on each the monochrome image editing, see photochromic, or analog for another printing technique
