Music
The Psycho theme is arguably one of the most famous pieces of music in cinematic history. Suspense is typically achieved by using longer, sustained notes in music, however this music opens with short, quick notes on string instruments. More instruments are layered, with a low key riff interrupted by higher notes that could make the audience jump. At around 40 seconds, the pattern changes. Although the tempo is still fast, slower notes in a lower pitch are layered on top, which has a haunting effect. This soon resumes to the main tune. The emphasis on certain beats could echo the audience's heartbeat, building the anticipation to the film itself.
