This Image has been taken from the film 'Psycho' which was made around 50 years ago. This still shows us the main character who has just been stabbed and is slowly dying. This is a medium shot as it is showing us the upper top half of her body, this is significant as it makes us focus on her face which shows her expression. She is reaching out toward the audience which suggests that she wants us to help her and that she is trying to hold onto her life. She is in the center of the frame so this is what we tend to focus on. The mise-en-scene is quite bare but i think this is what make this shot so effective, she has a shadow on the wal behind her and I think this adds to the mystery of her murderer.
