Opening to 'Vertigo'

Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo's opening is somewhat distorting and very hypnotising. During the credits at the beginning of the film we see one long shot of a girls face, we then zoom into her lips and read one of the names of the characters in the film. We then move up to her eyes which flicker from left to right, making her seem as if she's frightened and looking around for something - we then read another name. Then, we zoom into just one of her eyes, which are very dark and look terrified, her eyes then widen and a graphic match is introduced which fades into a hypnotic shape. The shape is rotating around and around, confusing us. The colours change bewildering us further and the same backing music drones throughout the intro getting louder and quieter in parts.
