Hitchcock

• Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock was an English filmmaker and producer, who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres.
• He used humour to add tension and information to build up suspense as well as montages.
• Some Hitchcock films were filmed in small spaces, yet the cinematography did not have monotonous repetition. For example, the entire action in Rear Window either takes place in or is seen from a single apartment.
• He also created the dolly zoom or ‘vertigo effect’.
• His films draw heavily on both fear and fantasy, which could be useful for my project.
