Opening scenes

 When Sheriff Tom Bell is introduced, we hear a voiceover being played over Chigurh being arrested. He talks about being proud to follow in his fathers footsteps of being a Sheriff and that the role of the sheriff to him is to die in action and as a hero. As he's arresting Chigurh, hes in a position of power above Chigurh with the glasses giving him authority and the blank, intimidating expression on his face.

When Chigurh is introduced, only his back us shown. Even when he's at the back of the car his face is hidden in the shadows which makes the overall tone of the film a Horror. At the police station, there is a use of a two shot angle where  Chigurh is placed in the background, hidden among the shadows while the officer is placed at the front of the screen to show dominance. As he's strangling the officer, we get a quick glance of his face with a crazy, possessed look on his face. In the bathroom scene, the camera is facing down so we still don't get a clear shot of his face. The camera is angled that way as if the we could only see the back of him we would still see him in the mirror.

When Moss is introduced, we see him hunting the deer. Unlike Chigurh's introduction we get to see Moss's face as a close-up shot is used. This is very different to Chigurh's introduction as we hardly see his face and his back is always facing the camera. Moss is seen to be blending in with the western environment with the brown clothes making him feel like he belongs here and fits right in to the wild west. A camera angle that is used a lot is a shot-reverse-shot where it cuts from a close up shot of Moss to the stretching miles of sand and then back to Moss. Although, both Moss's and Chigurh's introductions are quite similar as they both say 'stand still' to whoever they're trying to kill.
