Alfred Hitchcock is a film-maker working in classic black and white. hHs work plays on themes of hopelessness and is
overtly dramatic. Watching the film titled Rebecca, there is an openness, a naivety to the main characters
with a continuous suspense driven by a combination of the setting, sound and character. I take this into my work
my delivery of characters' voices, the placement of the music surrounding and the moving picture .
A film I would like to focus on is titled Rebecca .The opening of this film Noir draws you into a space. It's a feeling of what is next with a focus on the voice that travels with the scene. A feeling of another world, unknown suspense and where you are taking me, complimented by the sound, picture, lighting creates anxiety . With a mystery yet a little knowing of what the characters are going through . The minimal black and white is homely yet scary. There is something so within the human mind that is embedded with the contribution of black and white film
