Psycho (Norman Peeps)

This scene from PSYCHO is the scene where Norman is peeping at Marion through a hole in the wall. He is looking at Marion undressing in her room which is an auteur style of Hitchcock as he enjoyed voyeuristically blonde women in his films, which was the Auteur Theory by Andrew Sarris (Film Theory and Criticism 1979).

The film uses cinematography with the Point of View shot when Norman looks through the hole in the wall; you see what he is seeing. Montage is also used in this scene as it keeps switching between shots of Norman and Marion to emphasise the emotion of Norman falling in love with Marion.

This scene also has the ideology of sexism towards women/misogyny as Norman is only seeing Marion as an object and not as an equal human being.

The low key lighting in the scene draws the audience to focus on Norman looking through the hole in the wall, this combined with the close up shot of Norman shows that he is alone and that he falls in love with the first women he sees due to his sexual frustration
