This is my powerpoint presentation on Alfred Hitchcock for my AS Media Studies class.

1. Alfred Hitchcock

2. Who he was and what he did...
Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker and producer and his most famous genre
was thriller. He used many different types of technical devices when creating his films
because he liked to be unique. He used the camera in a way which was supposed to
mimic a persons gaze and framed shots to manipulate the feelings of the audience
such as anxiety, fear and empathy. His stories are mainly about fugitives on the run
from the law who are mainly alongside female characters. Many of his films have
unexpected endings involving violence, murder and crime.
He became a cultural icon through cameo appearances in his own films, interviews
and film trailers and is known as the greatest British filmmaker as he directed more
than 50 feature films in a career spanning six decades.

3. Style of writing
Although Alfred Hitchcock rarely did any writing, he supervised and guided his writers
through every draft and insisted on strict attention to detail. He had a preference of
telling the story visually rather than verbally. Over time this lead to some of the work of
his writers solely being created because of Alfred Hitchcock’s creativity. He also created
his storyboards to the finest detail.
