Vertigo has a very unusual opening seqeunce as it focuses on an unknown women in the begnning then later the camera zooms into her eyes and see's what she can see.
It engages viewers as it creates suspense and mystery as we dont know who the women and why we are focusing on her. This immediately questions the reader and makes them more interested in whats going on making them want to watch the rest on the film
The colours in this film are simliar to the ones in pscyho but its more bright in this one. White , black and red is used . The white connates innocence , the black connates death and danger and red connates lust , seductition and blood.
The opening only consists of one character and her emotions in one scene. Her eyes roll suggesting she is scared of something that only she has seen but as viewers we have not . In alfred hitchcocks opening he dosent give away much of whats going to happening , for example psychos opening titles had no characters and this opening only has close up's of one women that we don't know. This is done to create myserty in the scene
