Blog #9 Psycho Analysis

In Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock used cross cutting in order to show us what was happening at the same time and to put the audience at the edge of their seats. For example, Hitchcock used cross cutting when Sam and Norman were in the office talking about the money and when Lailah was inside the house searching for the mom. This allowed us to see what was happening at the same time but in different places. Cross cutting was effectively used in the movie because we saw the two different scenes at the same time creating suspense.
