Alfred Hitchcock

While we were in this unit i've noticed one of Hitchcock's techniques, his ability to show a person something and not have to say a single thing for them to know what's going on. you can see this a tiny bit in "the 39 steps". an example is the part when the woman is stabbed, we pretty much assume right off the bat that the assassins did it but if you think about it anybody could have done it. its more prominent however in rear window with the beginning scene, but he is still self concise of his own talent, why? he tells the audience with the phone call, but we would obviously tell by the pictures. what he could have done for us to know how long the leg would take to heal is a doctors note, but thats beside the point. he broadly shows his talent with the movie "vertigo" when he uses the scene to tell almost the complete story. there are barley any words spoken and you know exactly what's going on, your even more intrigued than if he just told you. one website that i full hearted believe with is this one about Hitchcock's film technique. that website pretty much speaks what was spoken here and adds additional info that i didnt touch on. Well, thats Hitchcock for ya!
