Essay introduction.

In my essay i'm going to write about the 3 films we watched a compare and contrast one another. The films we watched were Sin City, 300 and the Matrix. Sin city was the first film we watched and is directed by Robert Rodriguez. A film that explores the dark and miserable town, Basin City, and tells the story of three different people, all caught up in violent corruption. 300 had the same art setting as Sin City but wasn't as dark. The film is about a King, Leonidas and an army of 300 men in battle with Persians at Thermopylae in 480 B.C. The last film we watched was The Matrix and i noticed how the art style was different and didn't portray the same as Sin City nor 300. Each graphic novel has their own style of drawing; the two films that are similar are Sin City and 300 because of the use of contrast in light and darkness, it is really emphasized to enhance the characters emotions. In my essay i will research into some screen shots and annotate for comparing each film to one another. How and what they used to create those effects and the reason behind in doing so. Although The Matrix is a different setting and has a different style to the two other films, they still show a sign of similarity which i will look more into through out my essay.
