The film I will be talking about is Psycho. It’s an interesting movie, to say the least. The film Psycho paved the way for many slasher films including Sean Cunningham's Friday The 13th & John Carpenter's Halloween. The movie is almost as iconic as it is creepy. The film, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, represents Film Noir in many ways. In the storyline & in the technique.
The technique of Film Noir movies is a lot different compared to traditional styles. In the movie Psycho, we can see the Film Noir influences in the lighting of the film because it is specifically dark and gloomy. In certain parts of the film, we can notice how the lighting changes to fit what is happening. For example, in the opening scene, we see Marion Crane in her bedroom.
