Starts with close up of a pale

deathly face with black

background which suggests that

the film may be death.

Moves on to close up on face

with name of member of

production team, pale black lips

maybe also hinting at death.

Colourlessness also could

suggest this theme of death and

nothingness.

Sudden change to red – which

could connatate danger.

Juxtaposed with the name of

movie Vertigo and focus on eye

with an extreme close up could

hint at the genre of the movie –

Psychological thriller. Shape on the eye playing on the

title of the movie Vertigo. The

shot also moves in to the eye

and then into next shot this

transaction could also be hinting

at the genre as it feels to the

audience that you are moving

into the eye – gateway to the

mind.

The rest of the titles then

appear at once with a

background of black and the

feeling that you are in the

persons mind the design is also

a play on the title.

The non diegetic instrumental in

the background adds to the

sense that the movie is a thriller,

as the instrumental seems to

climax at every different stop in

the camera. The camera also

doesn’t actually cut the camera

movies from shot to shot and

you are able to see the

movement of the camera this

adds to the sense of realism for

the character as you can see

small movements which hint at

some life in the character such as

movement of the pupils.

The first three titles come on screen

quite quickly there is between 7-9

seconds between them but they do

not stay on the screen for a long

time the next set of titles which

could be argued are for the less

important people than the first

three which were the main

character and the director and the

name of the movie, come on for

longer- 10 seconds compared to 2-3

for the first cluster - as there are

more names in the shots and from

then on the titles change a second

after each other.
