This scene from PSYCHO is where Arbogast gets murdered by ‘Mother’.  From the start if the scene parallel music is played to create tension. Collision cutting is use in the scene, it starts off moving very slow along with the music then when mother appears the music and scene gets quicker. Point of view shots are used a lot him this scene to make you feel more of a part of it. There are two points of views with in the scene, one from Arbogast when he walks into the house and then one from ‘Mother’ as Arbogast falls down the stairs. Handheld camera also is used in this scene during Mother’s point of view; this is used here so that the scene seems more hectic. Like Marion’s murder scene body horror is use as you see his face get slashed twice, but you don’t see the knife go into Arbogast which is using restricted narration at the bottom of the stairs. The Hays code stopped body horror from going over the top at the time as it was a way to censor movies; it was abandoned 8 years after Psycho was released.  Arbogast is viewed from a high angle throughout this scene, showing he has little power now, whereas the knife is viewed from a long angle showing power, the knife also shows male power as it is a phallic weapon
