black and white ['blækən(d)'waɪt]
abbr. b/w
cinema Indicates that the images have no color. The first movies were black and white as color film stock hadn't been invented, but in more recent times many films have been shot in black and white either for artistic reasons or because it is cheaper. Some films are shot using color film stock with the final print in black and white.
