Psycho (1960)

• The black background with grey lines running across the screen, which then move out to reveal the credits and title makes the audience feel confused about what is happening. This may also show that a character might have a split personality.
• The credits change from horizontal to vertical and the letters shift into each other in the credits. This makes the audience think about what is going on.
• The grey lines move side to side and reveal more credits, almost looking at traffic moving down roads.
• The music has a high tempo and is short and sudden. It is also chilling and creates a nervous atmosphere among the audience as it makes them feel as if something bad is about to happen.
• The music is mainly composed of violins, adding to the chilling atmosphere.
• The opening credits shift to a wide shot of the location.
