Sin City





Sin City is a 2005 neo-noir anthology film written, produced and directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez. It is based on Miller's graphic novel series of the same name.

Sin City opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique coloring process, which rendered most of the film in black and white but retained coloring for select objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in-competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping."(wikipedia)
I looked at Sin City again , afer the black and white effect used in the Opening in Casino Royale inspired me to think of applying a similar effect in post production to our film. I think that Sin City is given such a dark and sinister tone through the black and white effect , with such bold high contrast and black and whites, it helps add meaning behind the narrative and connotes it to the auience extremely well. If using an effect like this in our thriller then i think for the film noir plot it will suit better if using higher contrast than casino royale. Especialy for an opening sequence this will impact more on the audience, so Sin City could be a big inspiration here.
