You can control the intensity of that emotion by
placing the camera close or far away from those eyes. -
The
camera should take on human qualities and roam around playfully looking
for something suspicious in a room. -
Movies
began to rely on actors talking, and visual storytelling was almost forgotten.
(Truffaut) Always use the camera as more than just a camera. -
One of your
characters must be pre-occupied with something during a dialogue scene.
Their eyes can then be distracted while the other person doesn't notice.
This is a good way to pull the audience into a character's secretive world. -
Putting
an idea into the mind of the character without explaining it in dialogue
is done by using a point-of-view shot sequence. -
Divide action
into a series of close-ups shown in succession. Don't avoid this
basic technique. -
Instead,
carfully chose a close-up of a hand, an arm, a face, a gun falling to the
floor - tie them all together to tell a story. -
Humor
is essential to Hitchcock storytelling. Pretend you are playing a practical
joke on the main character of your movie. -
"Information" is essential to Hitchcock suspense; showing
the audience what the characters don’t see. -
In Family Plot (1976) Hitchcock shows the audience that brake fluid is
leaking out of a car well before the characters find out about it. -
When scenes are
built around dramatic tension, it doesn’t really matter what the story
is about.
