In the sequence from the film psycho we watched was about one man that had just been killed. We can see the man driving up to a house in his car and then waking up some large steps to a house, before he enters the house he turns round to see if anyone is behind, from this we can tell the character is anxious or even nervous that someone might be following, and from this is an audience we can tell that later something might happen to him as he looks back and over his should to see if anyone is there due to nervousness. When the man enters he goes up the stairs and goes to walk through a door, but before this happens the shot then changes to a shot at from the ceiling looking down at the floor. The feeling that we get from this is a sense confusion or that it is odd because we are now suddenly above all of the action. Viewers could possibly be unsure what just happened and this leaves in them in confusion, as back then there was no rewind so see what actually happened. Then the man is stabbed in the face by a person who came from the door which it seemed he wanted to walk through. It changes to a shot where it is close up and it is following the man as he is falling down the stairs. The music during this scene started off to be quiet but changes to somethinf more quick when the man is then stabbed. This music has a emotional impact on the audience as it can make us feel how intense this situation is and how it makes us very anxious and worried about if the man will live or not. Just from watching this scene the enigmas we get is who is the man that is trying to kill the character, e.g. why is he trying to kill him or will he live after this attack.
This is an image of the house which the man is entering momentarily:
