The Opening of Sin City

The opening shots and mise-en-scene of Sin City, first if all include the black and white city scape mise-en-scene. Everything is in black and white except the women's dress and lipstick, which is in fact bright red, which connotes love, danger and passion. The type of shots that are used include over the head shots, mid-shots and a effective pan/zoom out shot, which shows the city land scape. The music in the background is a jazz theme, and there are sounds of sirens.
The opening credits are a good use of bold typography, which stands out against the general black and grey mise-en-scene. The colour of all the credits are bright red, which also connotes blood and again, danger. There are also images of drawings being shown on screen while the credits are being rolled in, which most of all in black and white.
The overall general mise-en-scene is of the city, and the rain is very stylized with use of graphics, in fact the whole of that scene is quite edited, and of been most likely shot by green screen. There are bright white city lights, which stand out against the dark colours. The women stands out against the mise-en-scene, and her figure and sexuality is very emphasized by the way they make her red dress stand out.
There are also plenty of special effects used, such as her green eyes which suddenly stand out for a split second. There also fairly slow placed shots, and the music is non-diagetic. There's even use of Monochromatic lightning.
