Film Poster Analysis- Sin City

What do you think the film is about and what might the story be?

The title of the film is bold red which stands out as a known comic book. So people would have an idea of what it is about. The image is a low angle shot which signifies the characters have authority and high importance. The hero or protagonist is looking down and the gun is aimed to the ground which suggests he has committed a crime.

What genre(s) do you think the film belongs to?

In the mise-en-scene, the use of props such as guns connote the genre is action or gangster. The use of black and white monotones suggests the film genre could also be film noire.

Who do you think is the target audience?

I think the audience would been teenagers to adults, mainly males because of the action genre and the fact the film is based on a comic strip they might have read. The female next to the protagonist may also appeal to males because she is showing her curves and parts of her body. It would appeal to explores because they would like to watch films with action and also explore a different style of film, film noire.
