In the film "Psycho" directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock used various camera angles and lighting technique to create suspense or put an idea in your head about a character. Other technique Hitchcock used was irony. I want to focus particularly on is called situational irony which Hitchcock used in a couple scenes to confuse the audience. The first sense was when everybody thought that the movie was going to be about Marion Crane, and the stolen money, but she was stabbed to death and the money was drowned in a lake, so that story was over and it was more about murders happening and trying to find out what happened to the people who came up missing.
Another example of situational irony, was when the lady walked into Sam's and asked for something to kill a pest, but she didn't want something that could hurt it. She wanted it to die peacefully, it's ironic, because she wants to kill something (perform a harmful act), but doesn't want it to feel any pain.
