I agree. OP give us some idea of what you've been thinking about discussing and we can add some input on top of it.

If you just want to use other people's ideas in your paper I'm sure there are plenty of other sources available on the internet.

Huge margins and size 15 font. Triple spaced.

I recall a Bates motel, Norman Bates, and a shower scene...

Hope that helps.

ima film student who has never gotten anything less then an A- on film analysis. I have one on psycho, I'll help you out in one of the following

Structure
Editing
Acting

I'm not going to write the whole paper for you though.

Everybody in that movie EXCEPT Norman Bates is incredibly stupid, I've noticed

Actually, I'm going to help you out for free and get some karma points:

First film to have the main character killed, and then shifted within the first 30 minutes. Second film in film history to (besides a german film called M) to humanize a killer and actually make you feel sympathy for him.
The shower scene is edited in a very specific way, Google what principle it uses and how hitchcock changed that principle )(no im not going to give you the answers).
First film to use Multiple personality disorder.
What happens in the end, and can you think of another film, one by stanley kubrick that ends very similarly.

That's what you get for free.
