Okay, I saw Sin City and I absoloutely loved the cinematography!! And I always wanted to do a film similar and as an experiment. So I was wondering if I should try it? Would anyone watch it? cuz I don't want to waste my time!! Im outt

We should be the last people you should be asking about any project. I mean honestly, what do we know about you? Make it for yourself first and foremost.

While I agree mostly with HDK, I think you have the right to know the reception of your audience to your idea. Personally what makes all the difference is the production value--how well you make it basically. How much detail you carve into it--if you're going to set up a camera and take the shades off a few lamps for lighting in your family room and film something there--forget it. Don't even bother.

Sin City used greenscreen compositing almost 100% of the time and I doubt you'll achieve a similar look. About the only thing you can really duplicate (technically-wise) is the color isolation. I really don't think students have the capability to do the Sin City theme justice--but try it anyway. It really doesn't matter what we like; it's all about personal satisfaction. Just be aware that if the general public finds your work to be awful and you think it's a work of art, you're not going to make it in Hollywood, to say it bluntly. Good directors know what people want to see.

Does this apply to porn as well? Cause those guys must be ****ing brilliant!

Lmao.

But that's a good point too...why do you think they had Jessica Alba pole-dancing in Sin City...believe me, it's not integral to the story.
