Within both openings the title is shown near the very start of it, in 'When a stranger calls' it appears at 10 seconds and in the Tenant it appears at 6 seconds. Both openings have the same sort of layout with the titles, they both show what type of film it is and who has distributed it, then they show a few of the box office actor names in it to keep the audiences attention and then they show the title. The actors names then carry on and then they round it up with the things like, music, photography, screenplay and then finally Written, produced and directed by.
From comparing the two openings it has shown me that I should set my opening out much like this. I will try to keep the same sort of order of titles to keep with this trend within psychological thrillers as well as all openings.
