ALFRED HITCHCOCK IS A GENIUS!
i love this guy.. like really.
he invisions everything.. and he wants to put it all in perspective.. put the audience in the charcter's POV/shoes.
he uses the camera subjectively, ie. the camera sees what the character sees.
a famous technique of his.. a close-up shot of the character, a shot of what they're looking at, a close-up shot of their reaction.
then there's the whole building suspense thing, and suspense vs surprise.
THE BOMB THEORY!
imagine 2 people sitting eating dinner and talking about baseball for 5min.. then all of a sudden a bomb goes off! the shock would be there for like 10 seconds.
now imagine the same scene, same people, same dinner, same conversation, but keep cutting between them and a bomb underneath the table. THE ANTICIPATION WILL BUILD UP!
this guy is a genius.. like really.. he is my inspiration.
must watch north by northwest
