Mise en Scene Analysis of Influence


This scene from the film Psycho, 1960, Alfred Hitchcock, has influenced the third scene in my film. Within this scene Marion Crane, gets dressed underneath her white blouse she wears black underwear which connotates her double personality. Her outward appearance reflects purity and innocence to the everyday people around her, but underneath the black underwear acts as a symbol of her inner corruption exemplified by her impulsive behaviour having sex at lunch time when she should be at work and later when she steals the money on an impulse. In addition to this the man whom she is sleeping with appears muscular and seductive, this could mean that Marion Crane is quite a shallow person and picks her men by the way they look.
