Just about every black and white film produced after 1950 took careful consideration in shooting in B & W, even avoid filming colours like green that show up shitty in B & W. Post is you can't just take some colour film and expect it to look good in B & W.
Because you dislike colors?
Humans dream in black and white. Who doesn't know this?
