Sin City

The opening of sin city starts with a black screen with the sound of a police siren. This immediately gives the impression of the films location in New York. Just as jazz music begins to play the black screen turns into a high angle shot of a woman wearing a red dress. The red dress is made to stand out because it is the only thing in this scene that is in colour. We assume that she is high up due to the balcony and bacause you can see tall buildings all around her. The voice over begins at 0.32 as the woman puts her arms around her, the voice over is describing what we as a audience is seeing.
