The Captivation of a moment on film

The most attractive part to Cold Case is the fact that the Filmography is a great indicator of what moment of the story you are living in. The full present day during the Episode uses a low saturation method which makes the actual scene look Cold. The flashback scenes are usually tinted or in black and white depending on time and circumstance. Kathryn Morris plays her part with no concession and use of the skin-tones created by the filmography her Lilly white skin suites her character name. Her Character name inherits the Cold of the White Lilly. So you have stand back and look at each episode as a character in itself.
