We preview The Little Theatre's upcoming Science on Screen event by talking about Hitchcock's Psycho and psychology in filmmaking.
Our panel of experts discusses about how filmmakers use visual techniques to control the minds of moviegoers. We break down Psycho's famous "shower scene," and explore what rules, if any, exist in modern films. Our guests:
- James Cutting, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Psychology at Cornell University
- Les Friedman, Ph.D., professor and former chair of the Media and Society Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges
- Bri Merkel, special events manager for The Little Theatre
