An Audiovisual Foreshadowing in Psycho
Issued Date:
Abstract
This chapter proposes a way of reading the film Psycho and analysing the structure of both the aural and visual components of the main title that
supports Hermann's claim that 'The climax of Psycho is given to you by the music right at the moment the film begins.' The chapter's argument to support this comes in two parts: the first uncovers a structural similarity between Herrmanns music and Basss titles, and the second relates aspects of these structures to a psychoanalytic interpretation of Norman Batess character.
