9 Shot Analysis - Psycho
By Joynul
The title sequence of
the film psycho helps build suspense. We hear an orchestra playing music which sounds frightening, the colour black in contract with the plain white font may also suggest a dark scary atmosphere
Here we have an
established shot clearly used to show the environment and place where the film is set in which looks like 1960s America being built up.
Here we see a close-up of
Marion driving being stalked by the policeman in the background. This helps build up tension and leaves the audience wondering why she is being followed, to add to this synchronous music is played along with the scene to help build up the tension.
Here we have a over
the shoulder shot, we can see that Marion looks very scared and anxious as the policeman is still stalking her on the other side of the road.
Here we have a
medium shot of Marion having a shower and someone creeping into the bathroom through the curtain, this helps build tension to who this might be and what they intend to do
The curtain suddenly
opens and we have a close up of what looks like a old woman holding a knife, the audience immediately know that this person intends to harm Marion and feel more involved to see what happens next
Here we have an
extreme close up of Marion's hands steadily going down the wall suggesting she is losing the will to live and is dying.
Here we have a two
shot of the detective and Norman Bates, the motel owner, we can see the detective as a very smart character.
Here we have a long
shot of the house, the audience would see this as a spooky house, to add to this we hear music which helps build tension to suggest this idea that the house is spooky
