Being shot with 35 mm cameras, this film makes the audience feel involved into the film because they think they are part of the whole scenery living the story. I t was totally Terrifying. This is the word that should describe Psycho, the Alfred Hitchcocks masterpiece from which we can recognize a famous shoot which took seven days to film; one of the classical scenes of the Hollywood s history: the shower s scene where around seventy camera setups just for the fortyfive seconds of the whole movie and the spectator doesn t found a plunging knife in the final cut, it s just a mental illusion that the director wanted to make. This film analyzes the dark side of the human intelligence, and it also goes forward to the capacity for evil among ordinary individuals. Indeed, In the course of the story, the spectators are addressed to the observance of approval or disapproval of what they see, to complicity and usually the public is feared of what else possibly comes next. For many years this has been the synonymous of suspense. It was the most sexual and violent film ever made by Hollywood. Audiences were amazed by the desolated self-portrait of a maniacal killer. Other thousands usually thought twice when they wanted to take a shower at night and it was after the persistent experience. The techniques Hitchcock used to force viewers to the edges of their seats have been often imitated yet every one of them is surrender to the master of horror pictures. As many people know, Hitchcock was very meticulous and that way to be, usually made him film some scenes over and over again, until he considered it was capable to be a part of the whole production. It is important to talk about, considering what its mentioned lines before, the final product of the shower scene. It seemed to be very difficult for the main actress since it starts with a close-up on Marion's eye zoomed in and out. The shower was open and the water splashing in her face made her want to blink, so the cameraman had too many troubles because he had to manually focus. It s necessary to stand out that the director felt that the main actors were not fervent enough. Another scene, in which the mother is discovered, required a thorny coordination of the chair, turning around while Miles was hitting the light bulb, which proved that the movie is perfectly made, just because Hitchcock had to do a lot of shoots until all the three elements were what he considered was the whole co penetration of the view. The plot: Anthony Perkins stars as Norman Bates, the troubled man who has a motel, a not exactly quiet and relaxing place to rest. Janet Leigh as the fugitive Marion Crane knew better than

anyone else, the terrible journey of her character and the unexpected end that she had. Vera Milles as her sister, searches for her after a private detective did; deeds that address to the revelation of the mysterious killer. Hitchcock gradually, takes away from the public an awkward sense of safety, in other words, he doesn t give them a secure place, like the comfort of a home but a reason to be afraid of, without mentioning the privacy of taking a shower.
