Hitchcock/Psycho & Shadow of a Doubt
[ send me this essay ]
An 11 page research paper/essay that discusses these two films. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s film “Psycho” (1960) is generally acknowledged to be a masterpiece of the cinematic art. Interestingly, however, Hitchcock frequently stated that his personal favorite among his many films was “Shadow of a Doubt” (1943), in which a “debonair murderer of widows,” played by Joseph Cotton, has formulated a complete nihilistic theory of existence prior to settling in the little town of Santa Rosa, California (Denby 26). This examination of these two films demonstrates how Hitchcock’s legendary skill at manipulating and misdirecting his audience can be seen in the earlier film, as well as how this factor has matured and grown in subtlety and nuance by the time that “Psycho” was produced. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Hitchcock/Rear Window & North by Northwest
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page research paper that discusses 2 films directed by Alfred Hitchcock. A surface evaluation of the cinematography in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic films Rear Window and North By Northwest would be that there is little commonality between the two films. Rear Window is told entirely from the viewpoint of L.B. “Jeff” Jefferies, a professional photographer who is confined to his New York apartment with a broken leg, whereas North by Northwest follows Roger Thornhill in an action-packed story that takes him across the country. However, a closer examination of the two films reveals that in both movies, Hitchcock uses the camera as his storyteller in many instances, and the elements of cinematography complement the dialogue in revealing characterization and plot devices. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
