3. PSYCHO TITLE SEQUENCE
Psycho was a one of Saul Bass most famous title sequence.
Firstly , the music is from a orchestra band and starts off
with a fast pace violins and gradually other instruments get
involved and build up the tension through as the pace of
the music increase as the sequence goes on.
The fast pace of the music links in to the horror genre of the
film. Horror creates suspense and tension throughout as a
build up before something happens in the film. The music in
the film title sequence creates the same feeling so links in
perfectly with the genre.
The title ‘Pyscho’ means crazy and insane. Through the title
sequence, Bass has tried to include this meaning through
out by lines start rapidly cut across the screen in all angles
like crazy. Shapes such as the lines , is something Bass uses
through a lot of his work , it’s a simple shape but however
creates a lot of meaning through the way he uses them.
