Sin City Effect

Sin City is a well known film featuring many famous actors/actresses. The effect used throughout the film has caught our eye and we wanted to test it to see if we could produce something similar.


As you can see the effect is using greyscale with limited colour. The effect is outstanding and looks amazing even on a photograph. We like how the significance of the object is shown by making it stand out from the rest of the scene.

We thought we could use this to show the memories. Have the singer appear in colour and the rest of the frame would be in black and white. It shows the character is crossing to a memory/better time. We also thought this effect would show memory well and would work well with the storyline.
