From watching the parlour scene from the well known film Psycho, directed by the master of suspense, Sir Alfred Hitchock, I  have noticed:

• Low Key lighting has been used to show shadows and create suspense to show something bad is about to happen.
• The parlour is filled with stuffed fierce looking birds; this signifies that the owner is a predator, but is this true?
• The male in this scene is not the stereotypical male because men are usually expected to be seen as big, strong and dominant, but the man does not really follow this stereotype because he is talking with a depressed tone of voice and has nervous body language, but this changes towards the end of the scene because the mans tone of voice changes to angry and we can tell the women feels intimidated by him because we can tell from her facial expressions and awkward body language that she feels uncomfortable and worried.
