Sin City opening sequence analysis


All the names in the opening sequence is in red this is to represent blood this shows you what type of film it is going to be.
The music in which is in the opening sequence is uncomfortable and also makes your heart beat to the same beat/pass as the music, this then means that when the music gets louder or faster it makes you more nervous than it usually would.
Within the names of the actors/actresses in which go across the screen when the character is shown has gaps within these represent gun shot's in which have been shot at them, this also helps to show you what type of film it is going to be.
The title sequence is made to look like it is a graphics novel as this is what the film is based on.

Shots that are within the opening sequence in order of when they are shown
  • Women with back to camera
  • Women throwing something but we don't know what
  • Women being shot by mysterious person
  • Guy smoking in what looked like a office, guy blacked out to make him look mysterious
  • Women shooting a gun
  • Guy with what looks like a gun in his head
  • Guy with a problem with his eye looks like it has been shot at
  • Women hiding a gun
  • Guy smoking
  • Guy looking angry
  • Mystery women can only see from the bottom of her nose to mid chest
  • Guy pointing gun at floor
  • Women stabbing someone
  • Mystery guy only in half view as other half of his body is blacked out
  • Guy with gun
  • Guy shooting a women
  • Guy holding what looks like a large knife
  • Mystery guy
These shots in the title sequence are of people getting threatened this gives you the idea that this is going to happen in the film.

It also shows mystery people this makes you want to know who they are and what they have got to do with the threats. You also see people that are supposed to look like they have nothing to do with whats going on but they are the ones hiding the evidence.
