Editing

Shower scene is Alfred Mitchcock's Psycho

In the film Psycho by Alfred Mitchcock he uses lots of editing or cutting to give the scene more pace and more tension. When the woman is being stabbed in the shower the cuts make the scene seem more exiting and faster, and this also rules out any nudity and allows the viewer to see the knife stabbing the woman. Once the killer has left and the woman falls to the floor and extreme close up shot of the eye slowly zooms out, resembling a slow end to her life. The camera then focuses on the water flowing down the plug hole, another way of her life slowly leaving her and all her sins being washed away. this is because before this scene happened the woman had stolen lots of money.
