'Psycho' analysis

The 'shower scene' in 'Psycho' is one of the most iconic moments in cinematic history. Whilst viewing it I found it especially interesting how despite portraying a brutal attack, Hitchcock does it without actually showing any explicit violence. Quick cuts are utilised to their best effect and this combined with close ups and shadows delivers a realistic and scary murder scene. We are planning on including a murder scene in our thriller opening,so we will be taking notice of this technique; I think that if we try and explicitly show a murder taking place our film may end up looking too amateur.
