'Shadow of a Doubt'

'Shadow of a Doubt' was made in 1943 and is a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. He is a very famous director and was born in Latenstone (1899-1980). In the opening sequences for this film, there are couples dancing in a circle wearing old ballroom outfits and the fact they are going around in a circle can represent no way out/endlessness. Hitchcock uses dissolves from establishing shots to close ups to show from the area to the action setting. You then see a man lying on the bed lifeless, and he has money lying all over the floor, and he isn't even bothered. It can show hes rich or he as a man has no value in life. As the blinds go down and the shadows go across his face he comes to life which can show he is an antagonist and on the dark side of life.

This is another great example of a thriller that I have looked at.
