Psycho

 

This is a scene where the woman has just checked into the motel where Norman Bates works. The shot keeps switching between the two and the music is creating tension. He is asking her weather she wants to join him for dinner and she agrees. It is fairly suspenseful because you don't know how he will react if she says no. The mirror in the background of her shot is a strong image that could be incorporated. 

 

After having an argument with his 'mother' about having the dinner at home with the woman, Bates asks her to have dinner in the office. He then mentions he would rather have it in the back and leads her in. Once the lights are switched on, lots of stuffed birds are revealed. This builds the suspense and makes him seem all the more odd. The key objects in the scene are obviously the stuffed animals.

 

When they talk she goes onto the subject of putting his mother in a home because she isnt nice to Bates. He gets angry. The shots and dialogue build the suspense because of the pictures and stuffed crows. Bates then pulls the painting aside to spy on her showering, this is when he kills her, the famou scene. The key object in this picture that he pulls aside. It is a very famous picture called 'rape'. The stuffed crows are also key.

This is probably the most suspenseful scene as people know that the shower scene is the scene where she gets stabbed. It is a also a good scene because the dialogue isn't very well known and there is plenty of imagery to work with. Most of the other suspenseful scenes don't have any dialogue and would be pointless as it will be a mainly typographic poster.
