Exposition - Outlines characters and background information. Ends with 'inciting incident' that asks the dramatic question.
Rising action - Obstacles and twists that get in the protagonists way.
Climax - A turning point.
Falling action - Suspense. Dramatic question answered.
Denouement - Catharsis. All conflicts resolved.
The exposition in Psycho is the act in which the protagonist, Marion is established and we are given information about her character and her relationships with other characters. This act ends after she stole the money and sees her boss on her way out of the city.
The rising action of the film is shown when Marion finds herself at the motel and after speaking to Norman, she decides that she needs to go back and return the money that was stolen.
The climax then ensues due to Norman's split personality and Marion is killed.
The falling action in the film takes part when we see Arbogast has been hired to find out where Marion has run off to. Within this arc, Arbogast is killed and Marion's boyfriend and sister are left to investigate.
In the dénouement ('to finish' in French), Norman is arrested for his crimes and the police begin explain that Norman has a split personality (that of himself and his mother).
