  • • 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.

    - We've put together a list of the most significant film techniques that
    were used by Alfred Hitchcock.  This information comes out of many
    books and interviews from the man himself and his been simplified for your
    consideration.
    
    
    
    This page is mostly for filmmakers who are sad and depressed because their
    movie is so average that nobody will watch it.  Stop crying and pay
    attention.  What is written here will save your career (at least until
    tomorrow morning.)  However there is no cure for a bad producer -
    there may be no help for you!
