Eisenstein and Hitchcock

• MONTAGE SCENE IN BATTLESHIP POTEMPKYN
• things coming at the camera quickly (the umbrella, the woman's face going toward her child)
• people falling down slowly
• the music is very intense
• the woman is going in the opposite way.
• violence- child being stepped on
• close up on the belt buckle. swan. swan song?
• jump cut
• SHOWER SCENE IN PSYCHO
• close up of the hand
• shot reverse shot of the killer and the victim
• the close up of the shower head
• close up of the drain
• close up of the shower curtain falling
• close up of the her eye- it looks like she's dying

Norman Bates cleaning up the murder scene makes it a bit more suspenseful, I keep wondering if he's going to be caught in the act, or if he's just going to get away with it.

The absence of sound while the car stopped sinking was amazing, it just added suspense. Norman looked so nervous, then the car continued to sink, and everything seemed to work out fine.
