Analysing the opening two minutes of Psycho
The Titles The opening credits are done in dark colours: black, grey and red. Black and grey give the impression it’s going to be a dark, unhappy film. Red represents blood, or anger. The titles being in white make them stand out from the background, representing how a psycho might stand out from normal people. ,[object Object]
The music is high pitched string, common for thriller films. The high pitched eerie noises and fast pace give a sense of danger and excitement. They also suggest unexpected things will occur during the film.,[object Object]
