The best shots from the set of Hitchcock, the master of suspense
On August 13, 1899, Alfred Hitchcock was born — a man who became a legendary director. His films have become firmly established in the classics of world cinema, and Hitchcock himself was called the master of suspense for his ability to involve the viewer in the film.
To create an atmosphere of suspense on the screen, Hitchcock used special techniques: close-ups, fractional editing, playing with time-compressing and stretching it, paying great attention to musical accompaniment. The most important thing is the ability of the director to feel the suspense himself. Hitchcock had a lot of that.
