This scene from PSYCHO is when Norman and Marion talk in the office; this scene is lit by low key lighting to create larger, creepy shadows. Norman is shown at a low expressionist angle for the first time in this scene which shows a higher and creepy power. The birds on the wall are birds of prey, this is to symbolise that Norman kills women as he ‘stuffs birds’. In this scene Norman changes quickly when Marion mentions his Mother, the angle of Norman changes at this point and the lighting casts a shadow on to his face to represent the bad side of him. This shows his personality changing into his ‘mother’. When Norman changes in this scene there are more close ups used so you can see the expression on his face
