Pyscho research- Suspense thriller

Psycho is a 1960 American suspense thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh. The film is based on the 1959 novel by Robert Bloch. The novel was loosely inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer and grave robber Ed Gein.
The film depicts the encounter between a secretary, Marion Crane, hiding at a secluded motel after embezzling money from her employer, and the motel's disturbed owner and manager, Norman Bates, and the aftermath of their encounter.
Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock's best films and is highly praised as a work of cinematic art by international critics.


Inspiration
The movie that started it all. It impossible not take some inspiration from what is a great thriller film. Despite not having much of a choice back in the 60's, i like the fact that it is in black and white which for me always adds more tension because of the historic feel it transmits to the audience. I have considered perhaps shooting our film in color and then editing it to look black and white. This would help us to keep the film simple as it would not mind if an object was not the appropriate color. Technically i can also take inspiration from the camera angles. The famous shower scene embodies what all thriller's should contain. A graphic match from the shower head to the plug hole is something we might add considering we too are adding a shower scene; although keeping it original.
