This opening title is very simplistic but has lots of
connotations and preferred meanings that refer and relate to theme of the film; with the first one
being the contrast between the text being white and the background being black.
From experience I could say that white connotes good and black connotes evil. Hitchcock purposely
created the altered line of text in the middle of the word to connote and resemble
disruption in good. This could be another indication that there is a part of
evil in all of us (Schizophrenia). Over the top of this scene is non-diegetic parallel music; by using
harsh string instruments like violins to make the audience feel tension. The animation
of this is disorientated and ‘choppy’. This resembles the disorientation of
someone who may have schizophrenia, indicating the narrative.
