...Hitchcock had been described as one of the first 'auteurs' through the stylistic techniques recurring throughout his work, creating a sort of synergy in the films he has produced which today, have been recognised as 'Hitchcockian'. An auteur is usually someone who can be recognised by their films due to a certain kind of theme they take and employ throughout their work. Key elements of the 'Hitchcockian" genre appearing in Rear window include voyeurism, suspense, female roles, and use of theatrical elements. What makes these techniques "Hitchcockian" is that he uses them most consistently throughout his films. Examples of the techniques employed in rear window can also be clearly seen in his other films, for example vertigo can be made comparable to rear window. Psycho and rope also embed "Hitchcockian" themes into them. To enable us to understand what is "Hitchcockian" about rear window and the elements employed, we must consider comparisons to the other works of Hitchcock. Rear window has been described as one of Hitchcock's "Rear window is arguably one of Hitchcock's most "theatrical films"" a common Hitchcockian aspect presenting itself in Rear window is the use of theatrical as well as cinematic qualities. Rear window uses only one main setting, that being the view of neighbours houses through Jeff's back window, which has...

...These instructions prevented anyone from entering the theater once the movie began, and the audience could not reveal any details about the film. This included the terrifying surprises that the film had in store (Younker). Hitchcock’s goal was to have his film grab the audiences’ attention, and place them in the abnormal psycho world. Even after 52 years, Psycho is still talked about and viewed today due to its incredible job with the motion pictures in every scene. As Ebert says, “What makes Psycho immortal, when so many films are already half-forgotten as we leave the theater, is that it connects directly with our fears.” Hitchcock’s build of suspense in his pictures most definitely sets the fear for everyone, which leads to the intolerable pitch of exhilaration throughout the film due to the surprising images that one comes...

...viewing Alfred Hitchcock’s movie titled “Vertigo”. It is based on the 1959 novel “D’entre les morts” that was written by Boileau Narcejac. Jimmy Stewart who was portrayed “Scottie” was stellar in this film as well as Alfred Hitchcock’s presence and directorial style; paramount. Cinematography, which is the combined art and technology of films and how it is created, was evident in this film (Cinematography). One of the features that Alfred Hitchcock is heavily noted for is the use of color to draw in feeling and emotion within a scene. For instance, in the opening scene of Vertigo, the first thing you will notice is the use of red, blue, and green. The colors shifted from one to the next with the changing of objects and certain panning techniques that were used to focus the audience on a certain point of the frame and color significance. Most importantly, Hitchcock used those colors as a lead in to the rest of the entire movie, which they are used throughout every scene and have a specific meaning and connection. For an example, the color red was used in a matter that would have the viewer assume that emotions like that of terror, fear, and horror. However, throughout the film the same color is used in flowers, wallpaper, and other scenery, which had a different meaning as in warmer emotional feelings. The color blue was used in connection with Scottie’s case of vertigo, paranoia, guilt, and supernatural like elements. It was also common throughout the film to see him wearing...

...The birth of cinematography started with short films, but these were simple pictures such as a group of guy’s playing cards or a car passing by on the street. It was not until the rise of Hollywood in 1900’s, did the movies we see today come to motion. David Wark Griffith was the first director to make a more modern day full-length film that theaters today show. Costing a whopping $100,000 dollars to make, the film brought in $18 million dollars of revenue. After the small infant industry saw the potential of creating films it took off. Moviemakers made sure films avoided controversial topics and offensive content fearing government regulations. The infancy of cinematography, a race of people thirsty for entertainment, mixed with a visual oriented guy with an interest in crime and a broad view of the world helped create a director to influence movies into countless generations. Born in London’s East End, on August 13, 1899, was Alfred Hitchcock. The beginnings of the world famous director were humble beginnings. His father worked tirelessly as a grocer, with long hours that paid very little. As a child, Hitchcock found himself interested in theater and the early beginnings of film. As a child, Hitchcock had an intense interest in crime, particularly British crime. After committing a minor crime, his father made him go to jail for....

...Until I Die ONE I LEAPT, DRAWING MY FEET UP BENEATH ME, AS the seven-foot quarterstaff smashed into the flagstones where I had been standing a half second before. Landing in a crouch, I sprang back up, groaning with the effort, and swung my own weapon over my head. Sweat dripped into my eye, blinding me for one stinging second before my reflexes took over and forced me into motion. A shaft of light from a window far overhead illuminated the oaken staff as I arced it down toward my enemy’s legs. He swept sideways, sending my weapon flying through the air. It crashed with a wooden clang against the stone wall behind me. Defenseless, I scrambled for a sword that lay a few feet away. But before I could grab it, I was snatched off my feet in a powerful grasp and crushed against my assailant’s chest. He held me a few inches off the ground as I kicked and flailed, adrenaline pumping like quicksilver through my body. “Don’t be such a sore loser, Kate,” chided Vincent. Leaning forward, he gave me a firm kiss on the lips. The fact that he was shirtless was quickly eroding my hard-won concentration. And the warmth from his bare chest and arms was turning my fight-tensed muscles to buttery goo. Struggling to maintain my resolve, I growled, “That is totally cheating,” and managed to work my hand free enough to punch him in the arm. “Now let me go.” “If you promise not to kick or bite.” He laughed and set me on the ground. Sea blue eyes flashed with humor from under the waves of black...
