Setting: old dilapidated house, bathroom dimly lit, sound effects \nLighting: scenes take place at night\nPerspective: Either Norman or the Lady - eye looking into peephole, sinking car is foreshadowing (Reader’s anticipation of what is going to happen before it actually happens\n), increasing shifts in perspective and suggests something terrible is going to happen\nConflict: External conflict - with the policeman, woman seems to be running away from something but naive and vulnerable, Internal Conflict - Norman Bates’ issue with his mother and in his head about what he wants to do.\n\n
