Opening Shot – In the background, sounds of traffic from a large city are played. A woman stands in a long, red dress standing on a balcony. This shows her vulnerability because she could fall or be pushed over the edge. Her red dress represents love and sexuality. A vast cityscape stretches out in front of her.
Mise en Scene – Rain lashes down onto the paved floor, this is a classic thriller signifier and can represent sadness or depression.
Opening Credits - A spinning shot of a large city morphs into the words ‘Sin City’ which is spelt out by the tops of certain buildings. Comic style pictures and stills from graphic novels are shown across the screen along with flashes of light. This technique is commonly used to show that the film has been based on a comic book. Blood red writing slides across the screen to display the cast’s names. The colour of the writing gives the idea that there will be dangerous things going on in the film. Contemporary music plays in the background which has a heavy bass line and sounds very mysterious yet dramatic.

Strong analysis. What did you think about the use of camera angles, shot and movement?
