Media Analysis of a
Thriller- Psycho

By Nabilah Vazir
•Firstly, there is high angled panning across a city to show
the audience the setting of the movie.
•There is also slow, ominous music which puts the audience
in suspense and makes them anxious.
•Then the camera zooms into the buildings so the
focus is on a window. This makes the audience
suspect that there is significance with the window or
the person who is behind it.
•This shot suggests that the women is the main focus and
is important as the camera shows a full shot of her.
However she may be inferior to the man as he has more
height and is looking down on her.
•There is a close-up of an ensemble of things. Although
this shot is only a few seconds long, it makes the audience
wonder what the relevance of it is.
•The middle shot of the women emphasises her distressed
facial expression where as the body language of the man
seems relaxed.
•The distance between the characters suggest tension.
Further more the fact that the woman's back is the man
implies a lack of respect.
•The close up of the characters suggest intimacy which is
evident as he has his hand on her shoulder.
•They are both wearing a the same sort of shirt which
suggests similarities between them.
•This seems to be a romantic scene but that is contradicted
by the eerie music which confuses the audience.
