Psycho Saul Bass opening credits

 

I will be looking the opening credits to the film called Psycho and how it is effective in showing the genre of the film and portraying the themes of the film. The intro to this sequence was created by Saul Bass. The opening credits show the screen tearing apart. The movie psycho is a horror. There is a murderer in this horror movie. This sequence creates that feeling of a horror movie. This works by the screen tearing apart which makes the whole sequence seem very disjointed. This sequence was effective in portraying the genre of the film. The content in the opening credits is unsettling which shows that it is illuding to some kind of horror movie genre. This works well in synch with the music to create a great opening sequence. The content in the credits is very eye-catching which makes me want to continue watching the movie. The screen constantly tearing apart really gets my attention. This creativity by Saul bass makes it interesting to watch. Overall the opening title credits to the film psycho is effective in showing the type of genre it is the viewers by having features that grab my attention.
