Vertigo Analysis

It begins with a close-up of a heavily made up womans eyes, then her lips, this illustrates, how Hitchock is objectifying her as not a whole person, but a broken up Voyeurism. The music also portrays the mystery of what is to come. As the camera goes back up to her eyes and is tinted red, you immediately want to know why her expression has changed and why she looks so scared. The mysterious spirals coming out from her eyes add yet more mystery and gives an 'edge of the seat' effect.

The next part of the opening reflects on the title of the film as it is all shot at a height. This scene is obviously where the protagonist' fear of heights originated.
