1. Sir Alfred Hitchcock
By Jess Goodale.

2. Alfred Hitchcock is a very famous film director,he has directed many
suspense/thriller films.He is famous for directing popular horror film
Psycho (1960).

3. His film psycho tested the boundaries with its shocking bursts of
violence and provocative sexual explicitness. This film opened doors
for thousands of horror films to come.

4. Sir Alfred Hitchcock was one of the first directors to attempt to create
the ‘sympathy for the killer' effect in a thriller/horror movie. He
attempted to toy with audiences emotions in a way mainstream
horrors hadn’t done before.

5. The 'shower scene' in Pyscho is legendary in the world of horror, it has
been re-created and parodied many times. Hitchcock's decision to
shoot the film in black and white as influenced by this scene as the
vast amount of blood featured would have over stepped the
boundaries of the times if it have been shot in color.
