Director

Alfred Hitchcock is known as the greatest director of all time by Entertainment Weekly. Some of the most successful movies he had created were, Psycho 1960, Vertigo 1958, North by North West 1959 and Notorious 1946. He pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres. after a successful career in British cinema in both silent films and early talkies, billed as England's best director, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood to fulfil his career completely.

He pioneered the use of the camera in order for it to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in form of a voyeurism. He framed shots to maximise fear, anxiety, or empathy and used innovative film editing.

Hitchcock creates tension for the audience in the shower scene because it is very quiet in the hotel and the shot is usually eyelevel medium close up so we see  Marion Cranes (Janet Leigh) body which seems to the audience that, we are intruding on her private space. Hictchock then cuts to eyelevel medium close up in the shower and we see her washing herself like she is washing away her sins and guilt. We notice that she is very happy and relaxed because she is going to pay back the money she has stolen though, Hitchcock then, cuts to low angle close up from Marion's point of view which looks like the water is coming down at us very sharp. This creates tension because, at this moment we cannot hear the bathroom door open, only the water running when her killer intrudes and kills her.
