Sin City Scene By Scene OTS Analysis Part 2

Scene 6: This scene shows the characters first embrace as they kiss after the male whispers into the female's ear. The scene has been edited into an animation form this is to show the white silhouettes combined as one. This scene is meant to decieve the audience as it shows the characters to be in a romantic embrace in contrast as to what happens later. The buildings behind them are also symmetrical as if everything is perfect.

Scene 7: The next shot is a close up of the male's face as he shoots and kills the female. The rain that is seen falling is used to show the character's remorse, remorse to the fact that he had just shot her. The character positions his head at an awkward angle and his mouth open witch could signify a sigh of regret. The prop of the silenced gun is shown in almost a monochrome manner to reinforce as if to make it clear as to what happened to the woman.

Scene 8: The next scene is shown from a high angled shot looking down on the characters in their final embrace. The male looks to the sky this shows that he is asking for redemption and almost as if he is seeking guidance, he also expresses regret, the femae is completely powerless in this scene as she is dead but the male is still holding her which signifies he still holds control over her as he is still holding the gun which emphasizes his authority.

Scene 9: The next shot is a crane shot which pans around the city which is made using CGI to replicate a tall bustling city, the zoom out shows that the crime is insignificant in this huge city which is built on crime and corruption. This then contrasts from earlier as it showed the an as playing an important role in the city but is in fact as powerless and insignificant as the female. The high angled panning also shows that it is now a subject to change.

Scenes 10 and 11: The camera then pans out to show the buildings forming the shape of the title "Sin City". The title has been further edited to look as though blood is seeping through the vein like roads into the movie title itself this then makes the title completely red, this introduces and sets the tone/mood of the movie to the audience.
