Extension work to Film Techniques: Alfred Hitchcock

To want to turn a boring film to a Hitchcock thriller. It would be great to take example from his notorious sequences seen from the characters view of point. And the liner simplicity of Hitchcock's plots. So the best thing to do with our thriller to avoid it being boring and dull we would have to show view points of our main characters and to keep the plots very simple.









Hitchcock's use of his secret weapon: Humour. How he created suspense in his films was through the use of both humour and tension. Therefore to take example of his directorial wit. We should try to make our characters quirky, include ironic situations, whimsical settings. To match the Hitchcock's brilliance. 


 The sound of Hitchcock. Hitchcock first used sound in the film Blackmail, 1929. He soon found the various ways he can manipulate sound and crated a lot of sound mixes. In order to give life to a flat film screen, we need to know how to bring a new dimension, great sounds.
