Psycho
Camera
The camera is still through the hole of the opening clip until the end when we get a long shot of a city. With the camera keeping still we are able to clearly see the credits. By doing this the director has made the credits quite interesting to watch as the music runs along with it all making the credits spooky, setting the tone of the film. Seeing the long shot at the end sets where the next scene is to take place and we also see hear that the film is in black and white.
Editing
Opening credits are flicked through the scene and special effects are used with lines running through the shot before evolving in to the person’s name. Again this is quite spooky and sets the tone for the rest of the film.
Mese on sene
The background is black and there are only credits in the shot so no mese on sene is used except in the last shot when we see the rundown buildings and we cannot establish anything from this as it is a one second long shot.
Sound
Sound creates the scene in all of the thriller openings I have seen so far and it does this again in Psycho. We don’t see any action or any characters and the only shot we get is of a city yet the music still manages to spook the audience. Music in the opening clip does not follow the credits but as the background is black is not out of place as it’s still slightly spooky.

As we are aiming to create a psycological type thriller this film opening could come in handy when we look to do our filming. It has enabled us to see that in the opening of our thriller we don't need a great deal of action to bulid suspense as sound in itself could be enough. However it also depends on exacly what type of pyscological film we are going for as this film is quite different to ours.
