Sin City, Robert Rodriguez, 2005

In the opening sequence to sin city we see the use of low-key lighting and that it has a slow pace, this film dose not have an opening sequence unike most of the market. It starts with an establishing shot of the city skyline, where one woman is smoking on the roof of a tall building. The colour scheme is black, white and red, with the only red items being the ladies dress and her lipstick, this may be to symbolise emotion such as passion or represent danger, the colour may symbolise danger but the dress she is wearing is backless so this may show that she is quite vulnerable.

We are then shown an ELS of a man who gradually walks through the centre then we are shown a mid shot, we can see that the man and woman are on an equal level showing that they are equal.

Music is a key part in the extract, we can hear non-diegetic jazz music which sets the passionate feel between them and then we can hear the ambient noises of the city which then reinforce the location where they are. We also have a voice over being played, this is useful to the audience as the voice over explains the narrative and lets the personas thoughts known.
