The Psycho Shower Scene

Psycho was a ground breaking film in its time, and the shower scene where the lead woman is killed, has become one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. It was extremely shocking at the time, since the lead woman is killed halfway through the film. The murder is shot quite unconventionally from a montage of different angles, and we do not see the murderers face once. There is a lot of suspense in the clip at it is quite disturbing even though we do not see the knife penetrate her but we do see a lot of blood.

overall assessment of your blog:

this is a tricky one, because to be honest there's not much to assess.I'm looking for independent research, inspired by work done in class. for eg, your psycho analysis and your brainstorm. the rest is either classwork or set homework. so i can't really give this any more than a low C mike and thats because what you have done is very good. but until you actually do a range of proper independent research as required your grade will stay at this level. a great pity because I think you're way better than this.

you'd better move fast if you want it anything else to count; see the main blog posting for advice.
