Cape Fear is a 1991 thriller film, directed by Martin Scorsese. The Introduction to this film is also done by, Saul Bass. We watched this opening to see if we were given any clues about the film itself.

At the beginning of the sequence we are shown water, this theme of water stays throughout the whole of the title sequence, this gives us the idea that water plays a big part within the film. Looking at the water, we see a reflection of many things. One of the things that we see is an eagle. This bird of prey connotes that there is an element of death within the film. Within the water we can see an eye, this tells us that maybe voyeurism plays a large part within the film. The eye moves from side to side as if the person is scared. We then get shots of random features upon a persons face, which could give a clue to characters within the film. Whilst we look at the water, the water occasionally shows hints of red. This colour has many connotations including, death, danger, and fear.
