- Thriller and the human psyche
- in order to heighten tension in his scenes Hitchcock turns the focus of the actions to more on essential frivilous details
- he called this an understatement and a way of calling attention to the trivial aspects of character
- "Ive always found that, in a moment of crisis a person invariably does something trivial, like making a cup of tea or lighting a cigarette. A small detail of this sort adds considerably to the dramatic tension of the situation."
- This is shown when Norman starts cleaning up he bathroom in Psycho just after he discovers Marion has been murdered
- He was one of the first directors to portray the psychological proces
