Art of the Title

Sin City

The music from the beginning is intriguing and the constant beat builds up tension and suspicion.
One of the images shown in the slideshow of pictures is a drawing of a woman with a gun being pointed at her. This links to the genre as it is a thriller and creates enigma for the audience. When the city becomes the title it is red in contrast to everything being black and white. Colour is only used for certain parts of the film, in the opening sequence colour is effective in making the opening credits and title stand out as it is red on black.

As the music progresses it becomes slightly eerie which brings on the opening of the film, this technique is used to bring the opening to an end. Red is appropriate as it is a suggestive connotation of blood and love which are main themes in the film.

The title sequence related to the genre because it represents the themes and genre of the film. The films style and flair is shown through the opening by the colours font of the titles and the images.
The lighting is very significant in this particular film as throughout it is used to accentuate certain characters or areas that the producer wants to stand out.
