The Master of Suspense

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock, undoubtedly one of the best film directors of his time, was known for his stunning ability to play with the emotions of the viewer. Nicknamed "The Master of Suspense," he certainly lived up to the reputation that he earned.

A "master of technique" would be a term that I would use to describe his works. He excels at being able to place the viewer in the position of the characters and spark emotion through the plot.

In my own film piece, I would like to explore these same techniques and implement some of them into my own creation.
