Psycho By Alfred Hitchcock

I've noticed someone else was considering Psycho. Psycho, actually was my first choice on this project. Hitchcock is a genius and a pioneer in the film industry. So using the auteur theory is excellent for this project. You can also use the formalistic theory in many of the shots and music he integrates throughout the film. Hitchcock is known for not using many dialogue, but shows what he wants to say through the shot angle, lighting, and facial expressions of the actors and actresses.
