Effect The light may signify death as it contrasts with the darkness of the night. Perhaps it could mean something important to the plot. This shows a link between the light at the house and the light and the receptions light. This then tells the audience that whatever is at the house is connected. He is making a walk towards the light. Showing an impending danger. This could show his reluctance to going into the house, or it could be because he believes there is a link between mother and the son, Norman Bates. He may be surprised that no one is present in the house or he has spotted something down the hallway. The shadows are the symbol of evil and danger showing that the house is hiding something within the dark. This fear could be subliminally telling the audience to keep quiet so Arbogast doesnt get grievously harmed. Increasing the tension. This tells you the points of interest in

the house; these may hold information towards the disappearance of the woman. Note that He does not enter them, as they are covered in shadow and as mentioned, it represents evil and danger. The focus on the feet could suggest a creaking of the floorboards increasing the tension and foreshadows the death of Arbogast. By looking back at the door it shows distance between danger and safety, making the audience feel helpless. The beam of light represents Aborgast death and as it gets wider it shows how close he is to death. The fact it is a narrow beam of light can tell you that the weapon of choice will be sharp.
