Pleasantville Effect Test

 Pleasantville Effect is when only one colour is visible in the clip. The reason Pleasantville Effect is  used is to highlight a subject or an object and this stands out from everything else within the scene.
An example of this being used in movies is in Schindler's list which it highlights only one colour and the rest is all unsaturated.

To achieve the Pleasantville Effect on Final Cut Pro, drag a clip onto the timeline. Select the clip to highlight it, then go to the effects, videos filters, colour correction and then colour corrector 3- way. Go to the paint tool on the right hand side, select a colour you want to highlight and then un-tick the Luma Box and Saturation box, and slide the Saturation bar to the very left.
