The opening of Psycho is very engaging from the music playing in the background. The music is loud and fast paced of high string instruments and high piano playing which builds up a lot of suspense on to the audience as there is no other images in the opening credits.
Psycho has a different opening to most opening credits as it doesn’t feature any characters but just suspense from the music playing. Alfred Hitchcock has a unique way of creating tension through his sound so that they are more occupied in what is going to happen.
The opening credits only view back and white colours which contrast each other and also suggest death and mystery. The images used in the opening credits are of black lines dashing in and out from both sides of the screen and up and down the screen . Also the credits appear with the lines in white to contrast the black background of the lines. When the credits appear the music gets louder.
The opening credits doesn’t present any characters but from the music which is played gives the audience a sense of what the film may be about and also introduces the theme and story to the audience from the music as well.
The ending of the opening credits ends with the string music being played really high in a sudden to get the audience engaged in to what will happen as they watch on.
