Psycho title sequence

This video shows how this thriller presents the title sequence, it uses black background and white font this makes the movie seem more formal, realistic and important. The sound is an instrumental score which builds tension, with its repetitive thud suggests that something bad, very bad is going to happen. The editing is slow and is continuity editing helps to create suspense, clues and narrate the story. this could be used to say that there will be plenty of murders.

These screen grabs show how the opening sequence helps to both reveal the titles; the movie title, the actors but also the genre. this shots show a picture of a knife cutting through the word veramiles, hinting that maybe someone will get killed or stabbed. The other picture says the word psycho, the editing cuts this image and replays it three times which is strange. this shows that there is going to a be mentally unstable character. The fact it appears three times may hint this character is persistant. the red dots could display blood, that someone will die. The word psycho is self explaniatory.

It starts off with a mid shot of two men, their costume; shirt and jeans, create a sense or normality. The props; the guns in their hand suggest that they are going to kill someone. The body language of the blonde male suggest this murder was planned because he looks angry, this could mean that this is revenge. The sound, the score is quite jumpy, it suggests that someone is in a chase.It creates a sense of danger and threat. The use of black as a background for the title suggests that something  bad is going to happen or there is a bad guy in this movie, as black is associated with something sinister e.g black sheep of the family.It also suggests that there is a secret, something that is meant to concealed. Black does this as it is an expressionless colour, it does not create a definite mood whereas blue suggests calmness and red suggests blood and anger. Black does not create a definite mood, this creates a feeling of unknowiness and mystery, which is a vital mood in thrillers. The use of yellow as a font creates a sense of normality and formality, which could mean that the actors in this movie were normal people that got affected by something bad. The orange red colour around the words suggests someone is going to die. By creating this moods and suggestions, this opening sequence is successful at displaying a thriller.
