Pyscho - Sound and Camera

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho- Sound & Camera
Sound & Camera- The credits displayed on screen come with a high pitched tone emphasizes the jagged nature of the film. the non-diagetic music includes string instruments, making it come across as mysterious and deadly. The sound is also quite sharp, and this links with the murder weapon when it is used later on. In the opening sequence an establishing shot has been used to show the time and place of the setting, allowing the audience to gain an idea of where the story began. A high angle shot was also used in the opening revealing the victim with a male character, showing a male will be a dominant figure towards her. The establishing shot also uses a slow zoom, as if the murderer is spying and eyeing up his victim in the first moments of the film
