Sin City Stillls

This still is of Bruce Willis who plays Hartigan in Sin City. This shot is a close-up which allows the audience to see his mood and emotion which is clearly serious and focused. Additionally, a scar is visible to the audience therefore creating an ideology of his tough persona. His face has deep grooves and wrinkles, along with stubble it shows his maturity. The black and white colours are present throughout the entire film, which conform to 'Film Noir' conventions. Although, Sin City uses the odd colour to emphasis a part of a person for example.


Clive Owen, known as Dwight within the film is a excellent example of Sin City's use of a singular colour. In this case, Dwight's eye's are the emphasis, they connote a coldness and show the audience his personality. Additionally, I feel as if they've chosen this colour as there is a sterotypical ideology when it comes to this colour, they saying normally goes, "Those old baby blues".
