This photo is from the shower scene and I would say that this
is probably the most important scene throughout the whole film. This image is
effective mainly due to the fact that the “killer” has power; the angle of the
shot shows this because it is a close up with a “phallic weapon” raised above
the camera.
The shower water is running which could connote misery through
the use of pathetic fallacy; this shot also dark as well, especially Norman.
This low-key lighting gives the audience a sense of shock which could also
relate to “power”.
This image is an example of how Hitchcock uses his auteur
style to create a powerful effect on the viewer by using mise-en-scene and cinematography.
