Pyscho juxtaposition


This two unrelated shots are part of juxtaposition editing.
The two shots in contrast are very different due to the mise-en-scene and cinematography elements. For example, the thriller iconography is visible due to the specific reason to why the killer has been disguised and hidden in a mysterious silhouette used purposely to create mysterious.
The juxaposition between the two shots suggest that the women has spotted the killer about to murder her whilst shes in the shower.
The white lighting on the women in comparison to the low key lighting on the killer symbolizes a thriller iconography by she is a victim. It also exaggerates that the women is in the insuperior sex by the understanding that she is the victim. One important aspect of this point is that she is naked (voyeurism), where as the killer is fully-clothed, which is the complete comparison in contrast to each-other. It relates to voyeurism as she has been murdered whilst participating in a private, intimate activity, where the killer has deliberately violated her privacy.
