1. Analysis of Psycho- Thriller film
Mise-en-scene: The set/location of the openingof this film is set in
Arizonaand you areshown the city, which then leads to a flat in the
city. The only costumewe see in the openingclip is lingerie on the
woman and a pair of underwear on the male, which suggests to us
that they have a strongsexual connection. They aren’t main propsin
the openingapartfrom the essential items in the bedroom.
Cinematography: Weare shown high angle and wide shot images
when being shown the city as they are showinghow tall everythingis
and how large the city is. When weare shown the couple in the room
we see a mid shot of them, so we focuson what’s happeningfrom
their waist upwards.
Sound: The sound werehear in the openingis all musicas weare
shown the city view the music is peacefuland soundsrather magical.
When we are shown the peoplewe hear them havinga conversation
and the musicin the background quietens suggesting that what they
are saying is importantinformation for the rest of the film.
Editing: At the start when the are showing the city they use Jump cut
to go from how the city once was, to the changes in the buildingsand
roadsetc. The jump cut wasable to smoothly show usthis change.
There is a Crosscut used to show the change from the city to the
buildingwhich has the peoplein the room.
