It’s not going to be easy with footage that wasn’t shot for that purpose.

If the shot is locked you can try a difference key. Also checkout the Edge Work filter in the Stylize menu. It’s not exactly what you want, but you might be able to build on it.

Always easier to advise if you can post a still frame sample shot. You might try the 3-way color corrector to select and exaggerate lights and darks, and use its selector tool to tint everything one of two shades.

An effect that may help is covered in my Motion blog about a project I did. It has short description of how it was done: Motion in Action
