COMM 150 Lecture Notes - Camera Work, Thriller (Genre)
Document Summary
I enjoy playing the audience like a piano. From 1939 on, he worked for the us, first for mgm then for paramount. Drama is life with the dull bits left out. Stories usually begin with some crime against social order. His films deal with the difference between normal and abnormal behavior. Everything is perverted in a different way. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. To get real suspense, you have to let the audience have information. The pleasure comes from taking away the anxiety in the end. Film about the visual lures that make viewers want to watch. Concept of the film came from jeff, a guy who broke his leg, and watched the neighbors for fun. James stewart and grace kelly would be the leads. The entire film was shot on one set. Viewers like to think they know whats coming next.
