Hitchcock does a great job at making a scary movie and creating suspense with just facial expression, music and film editing. I thought his film, Psycho was an interesting example of montage because instead of visually seeing it I heard it through the dialogue and the narratives. For example when the main character, Marion, was at one point driving away after deciding to steal the money she was given to bank, you could hear other voices talking, more specifically her boss and the man she stole the money from. Although we can only see her driving we can hear the tense conversation her boss is having with his client as they talk about the fact that Marion did steal the money. This makes the audience tense and scared for Marion and adds tension to this otherwise mundane scene.
