The film opens with an image of the lady, writing innocently in a notepad. The image accompanied by soft and happy sounding music. Then only a minute later, with the arrival of 'the psycho' while the women is in the shower - the music changes and the new music playing is very frantic and loud, perhaps mirroring the actions of the psycho.
During the stabbing of the innocent women, by the psycho - the scene see's numerous jump cuts of angles on the women. This is a successful filmaking technique for a thriller genre as it really captivates the violence of a scene.

Similarly to thr non-digetic sounds edited into the film, 'Psycho' - is the music edited into the opening title sequence 'The Sixth Sense' (Shyamalan, 1999). While the director has opted for a very dark contrast to the opening sequence - The music remains similar to that of 'Psycho' - frantic with the use of orchestrated instruments, capturing the spontaneity and tension of a thriller.
The film 'Taken' (Morel, 2008) also uses similar music in the 'Goodluck scene' - captivating the nature of orchestrated instruments. The scene also uses a very dark contrast to the scene. The film also rids of the rule of thirds, this creates a loss of structure to the camera work of the film.
