Notes -
The opening shot of the eye, the shapes, the high up establishing shot, looking down and watching the policeman fall all create a theme of 'sight'.
The filter of on the eye is red. This ma symbolises danger.
The non diegetic soundtrack creates suspense as it fits the theme with rising and falling. (The music goes raises tension and lowers it). This suspenseful music is typical of the thriller genre.
The credits are shown in the opening, giving information as to who made the film. This convention of thriller films.
The main part of the opening sequence consists of a series of graphics which form various shapes and vortexes. These may symbolise dizziness and directly relate to the feeling of vertigo (which is the title of the film). It also contains the credits in this part of the opening sequence and is a good way of getting information across to the viewer while keeping them entertained and wanting to know more. The music also helps to build a sense of suspense and unease. It does so because the music rises and falls making the viewer thinking there will be some sort of explanation or resolution however it doesn't have one.
