Coursework - Alfred Hitchcock Research(WIP)

Alfred Hitchcock

Alfred Hitchcock was the most famous thriller director of his time and was said to have helped shape the modern-day thriller genre. He was said to be considered a master of manipulating is audiences fear and desires, and taking viewers into a state of association with facing the reality of the character. He would often include a taboo or sexually-related theme into his films.

Hitchcock's films often placed an innocent victim (an average person) into a strange, life-threatening or terrorising situation, due to mistaken identity, misidentification or wrongful accusation.

The first thriller he ever made was named 'Lodger' in 1926.  This film is based upon a woman  (a landlady) who believes that her lodger is a madman murderer who is killing women who live in London.
