Title Sequence - Review

Here's a nice one for you...



This is for the film noir Sin City. The film was adapted from the graphic novels of the same name by Frank Miller and the title sequence makes clear reference to the films comic origins using, I think, some of the original artwork from the comics. The story plays out in the fictional city of Basin City, known by all as Sin city, which is a dark and dangerous place filled with violence and crime. This sequence shows us some of the main characters and gives us a sneak preview of some of the scenes to come. The film is all black and white except for the occasional use of bold colours which gives it a nightmarish and very stylised look, this is taken directly form the graphic novels, and is used in this sequence too. It starts with a 3D cityscape which turns into the title Sin City. Nice. The credits are all blood red and move over the top of the black and white comic style characters. The text is kind of translucent too allowing us to see the scenes underneath. Very nice. The soundtrack used adds to the feeling of suspense and of building tension. Extra Nice.
