Sin city genre analyse within scenes
How typical is their genre of comic book and film noir in sin city?

The genre of sin city is of comic book and film noir this is shown throughout all of the conventions and connotations,presented through the use of diegetic and non diegtic sound and indicated within the narrative themes.
The first scene i will analyse is the opening scene of the film it sets of in a city upon rooftops where a female character is wearing a red dress with red lipstick on in the black and white back ground the red dress and lipstick portray that of a sense of danger about to unfold.Within the scene it rains and is rather dark the lighting is very low key the female in it is shown to be a femme fatale because she smokes and the way the camera presents her gives an area of mystery about her these are all classic film noir conventions.
When looking at the comic book conventions we see a scene for a moment where the reality turns into a 2d black and white silhouette everything is drawn as if it came from a comic book when the kiss,another indicator is when the scene pans out from the rooftops moves onto the actors who play parts the words"sin city" convert from the buildings into a comic book style. Also non diegetic music starts to play this gives the sense of a comic book feel that many comic book films throughout the years have used for example spider man or batman the movie.

The second scene im going to analyse is the section when Hartigan and Bob try to save Nancy from Junior the film noir connotations are presented in the form of when Hartigan is trying to get to Nancy he knocks out Bob because there is a sense of no trust later on in the scene this is proven to become true when Bob shoots Hartigan down,When trying to save Nancy the scene also shows very bleak scenery and low key lighting is used to add to the effect.
Comic book genre is presented in this scene when Bob shoots Hartigan he is still alive it takes a few shoots to make him unconscious this also happens with Juinor his hand gets shot of and he gets shot but he is still alive this shows the super human abilities given to characters just like in comic books.There is also the part when Hartigen suffers from his heart condition he falls to the ground and there is dialogue that tells him to get up and stop messing around this is also another connotation in comic books to support hero's in times of struggle to save the princess.
