Psycho - analysis
 Medium close-up – 00:04
 Signifies mood of the scene – miserable and dark – 00:12
 She is afraid of something, looked back for a second time in
about 20 seconds.
 Tracking shot – 00:21
 Two shot – 00:43
 Norman’s face can be seen both physically and on a mirror. This
could have a double meaning as at first glance, Norman seems
innocent but the mirror could signify that he has a dark secret.
– 00:56
 Zoom out – shows the open door to her room and shows that
she has invited him in and shows a form of trust. - 01:21
 Dramatic irony as we know she will die.
 Norman looked back, this could be him making sure that
nobody is around.
 Mise – en – scene, Norman looks as if he wearing a suit which
represents class but also he is wearing a casual jacket which
could be used to show that he is trying to hide his dark side. –
01:51
 Another way he is trying to hide his dark side is through speech
as he is stuttering a bit which shows he is nervous but could
also be a façade. – 01:55
 When Norman enters the room, it goes dark. This could be
building up suspense as that is what good horror films do.
 The camera keeps cutting to a bird then back to her with a
nervous expression, then the third time Norman has a sinister
expression to resemble an impending threat. As the audience
we could just assume that something is off with Norman. –
02:13
 Throughout the entirety of the scene we see Norman’s
transition from a nervous man to a man with full-fledged
confidence. A stark contrast to what we saw previously.
