Psycho Opening Titles

This is a remake of the Psycho opening sequence however it is very similar to the original, the main difference is the colour of the block lines that appear in the shots, in the original opening these are grey. I am posting this as I believe it is a very successful opening in terms of grabbing the audiences attention and making them focus on watching the rest of the film.
The music is the main convention that has caused me to believe this opening is effective. It can easily cause an audience to feel tense and on edge as it is quite scary due to it being loud and fast paced.
The creation of the opening titles is interesting, the lines that move in and out of the screen are sharp and fast, they seem to be using a cuttting motion which links to further events in the film of when the woman is stabbed.
