Psycho Image Analyses (1)

This is the scene in which the auteur Hitchcock introduces us to the setting of the Bates Motel. The low angle shot means that we instantly assume that it, and whoever resides there will have the most power. The mise-en-scene also helps to establish this as a creepy location. The dark setting, lack of light sources and ominous non-diegetic music helps to establish the forth coming scene as a dark one. This again coupled with the overlapping restricted narration beforehand that adds a sense of anxiety to the character.
