Yup, that is a great scene by Hitchcock. He was so well aware of how cuts can kill the tension and distroy momentum, and unintentionally give away information best kept secret. In Psycho, when the detective is in the house climbing the stairs to mom's room, he did a long continuous shot. In order to keep this tension going and to change the shot from one facing the detective to an angle where the viewer can see the attack coming, he had the camera slowly rise till it was directly above, looking down (obviously the house had no roof on it). This also conveniently hid the face of mom so the view could not see that it was Anthony Perkins.
