(Research) Assignment 6 - Madness & Paranoia - Individual Research #1 - 'Psycho'

I watched the trailer/clips from 'Psycho'.




  Analysis:
       
       From this trailer, 
  • I learnt that women are portrayed as weak/vulnerable. They are therefore used as an easy source of fear.
  • The protagonist is predominantly by herself when she feels vulnerable and conscious of who is around.
  • The murderer isn't clearly defined, but is shown as a figure or silhouette. This is done to bring about a certain enigma to the audience.
Low key lighting to make the silhouette and shadows more prominent - makes the lighting more significant, as it connotes an importance of a certain person.


Close-up shot to build tension as the identity is still hidden which connotes a narrative enigma.

Low shot conveys the antagonist to be tactical and larger/more intimidating.
