In lesson, we looked at the film 'Psycho' and its infamous shower scene. The scene took a whole week to shoot, and in the end was about 45 seconds in the film. They used many different cameras to create the effect they wanted, which made it look quite realistic as you can see the scene from many different angles.
Two interesting facts about the scene is that the blood that swirls down the drain at the end is in fact chocolate sauce, and the famous noise of the stabbing which is used for spoofs etc these days was created by 'violating a Turkish melon'. Its clever because they used such simple techniques to create a realistic looking scene, far ahead of its time. The realism of the film is probably what scared the audience of that time so much.
