This photograph taken from
the film shows the creepy location of film.
This picture introduces the audience to Bates Motel. The house back of
the motel is shot from a low angle which is an expressionist angle to make the
house overpower Marion. The motel is shown as a dark, uncanny building which
adds to the mystery of the scene and leaves the audience uneasy. In this scene
the stereotypical weather of rain is used which is commonly used to make a
location more eerie in horror films. This shot is a good example of pathetic
fallacy where the weather reflects the mood.
The house is back lit to
make it appear as a silhouette which adds to the menace. Low key lighting is
also used in this shot to make the buildings look darker and more disturbing to
the eye. The creepy location creates an unsettling atmosphere which makes the
audience know that something disturbing is going to happen in this location.
