About him Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock KBE, born on August 13, 1899, was highly influential British-born film director and producer. He directed more than fifty feature films and who pioneered many techniques in the suspense and thriller genres over a career of sixty years. Among the most consistently successful and publicly recognizable world directors during his lifetime, Hitchcock remains one of the best known directors.
Alfred Hitchcock departed on April 29, 1980.
The way he films Quote from Wikipedia.com (2007): Hitchcock once commented, "The writer and I plan out the entire script down to the smallest detail, and when we're finished all that's left to do is to shoot the film. Actually, it's only when one enters the studio that one enters the area of compromise. Really, the novelist has the best casting since he doesn't have to cope with the actors and all the rest." Hitchcock would storyboard each movie down to the finest detail. He was reported to have never even bothered looking through the viewfinder, since he didn't need to do so, though in publicity photos he was shown doing so. He also used this as an excuse to never have to change his films from his initial vision. If a studio asked him to change a film, he would claim that it was already shot in a single way, and that there were no alternate takes to consider. However, respected film critic Bill Krohn in his book Hitchcock At Work has questioned the popular notion of Hitchcock's reliance on storyboards. In his book, Krohn after researching script revisions of Hitchcock's most popular works, concludes that Hitchcock's reliance on storyboards has been exaggerated and argues that Hitchcock only storyboarded a few sequences and not each and every scene as most think. He also notes that this myth was largely perpetuated by Hitchcock himself. His appearances in every film he does
Many of Hitchcock's films contain cameo appearances by Hitchcock himself: the director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or appearing in a photograph. This playful gesture became one of Hitchcock's signatures.
His Most Famous Work
Psycho - Regarded today as one of Hitchcock's best films and highly praised as a work of cinematic art by international critics, Psycho is also acclaimed as one of the most effective horror films.
And its "The Shower Scene" has been studied, discussed, and referenced countless times in print and in film courses with debate focusing on why it is so terrifying and how it was produced, including how it passed the censors and who directed it.
Why I chose him.
I think I chose to use Alfred Hitchcock because of “Psycho”, when one of my secondary school teachers played the show during sec 2, it left a deep impression on me, First, I had enjoyed the movie greatly, it was exciting and suspenseful. I was also impressed on how he managed to control the atmosphere and the feel of the movie more often with visuals than sound. And I was particularly impressed with the shower scene, after I watched the show; I went home and read up on it. I found out that he was the first director in film history to make a shower scene and it actually changed and influenced many other movies.
