Sin City intro

Titles: None, this is unusual as most thriller's have titles, i believe this has been used to make a statement when the actual titles are shown.

Camera: The film opens with a long shot of the woman with her central to her surroundings.in the next shot she is slightly to the right, and a man in centralized, as he walks closer to the woman he grows in size(perspective), this shes he is more dominant than the woman.The conversation is then shown by a series of closeups of each character, this represents continuity. There is a close up of a lighter and a cigarette, the flame signifies danger, but the cigarette signifies that the woman is relaxed and unafraid. there is then a long shot of the couple kissing and then a cut to a mid shot of the man killing the woman.this is a common theme in the thriller genre.

Mise en Scene: The scene is set on the balcony of a hotel or restaurant which looks over a busy city,the light is minimal and low key, this is conventional of a thriller.

Editing: the scene has been edited to create a slow mood conversation so the cuts are straight but spaced far apart. all colour has been removed except for the blood red of the woman's dress and lipstick, there is also a moment when the man mentions the woman's eyes and they light up green and then fade back to black and white.

Sound: The scene opens with jazz/lounge music played softly in the background this runs throughout the clip. it is accompanied by non digetic narrative to keep the story running for the viewer. the narrative is continued and played out in digetic conversation. the whole time you can hear the ambient sounds of the city

As the scene begins low key non-diegetic jazz/soul music is played in the background, followed by non-diegetic narrative to keep the pace of the scene, the narrative is reinforced by diegetic conversation for continuity, accompanied by the ambient sounds of the city creating realism.
