P2: technology-psycho and switchblade romance and Halloween comparison
P3: changes in society – ideologies, values and representation// eg, the era of feminism changed everything. Eg ,from being subservient and controlled in Psycho to the changed in Switchblade Romance. The final girl- needs phallic symbol though to show her masculine side
P4: censorship and codes of conduct= TCM 1 + 2 changes
