Drive question

The film Drive uses a mix of conventions from both the film noir genre and the action genre.  In the first scene there is low key lighting, this is a common convention of a film noir because it suggests danger is ahead and also suggests themes of horror. The mise en scene in the film also suggests themes from film noir. The film is set in an urban environment and on the wall of a building we see neon lighting. Neon lighting and built up, urban environments are both common conventions of Noir films and these themes are shared in Sin City. In the first scene of Sin City we see a long shot of a city, showing the setting of the film and the surrounding buildings. There is also a scene in Drive where 2 people are killed with a gun. The gun is regular iconography from the film noir genre and is common in Sin City as well as drive, it suggests crime and violence, both of which are common in Noir films.
