Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock is an English film producer and director, and a very successful one. He carried out very effective film techniques in the Thriller genre, that set an example to other film directors. His techniques did influence and inspire many other film directors, as they were so successful.

Alfred Hitchcock also done his fair share of silent films, and even earlier than this; talkies. Hitchcock then realised his potential, and moved to Hollywood to join the most successful film directors in the world. He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in a form of "voyeurism". He framed shots to highlight anxiety and fear, and used innovative film editing. He filmed over 50 featured films in a career lasting 6 decades. He is known by many people as the greatest British film director, and had feedback such as "got emotion from the audience like no other director".
