So far in this project I have focussed on learning the way in which the original scene in the film was produced, and attempting to incorporate this into my own piece, which has been a struggle as I had preconditioned beliefs on how Psycho had been made, and after reading the section of "Arbogast Meets Mother" in Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho (Rebello, 1998) I was surprised to find out how different the process actually was, as I was sure that Martin Balsam was filmed simply walking backwards down the stairs, so when I found out that it was a projected screen I gained a greater awareness of the difficulties I may face during my own production.
I have also began to work out the location for the shoot and how I will have to rearrange certain aspects of the house to make it look more suspicious with a lack of items around. So far I have taken some shots for a location recce as well as test footage of certain effects, such as the dolly zoom (which will be uploaded in a later fully titled post).
