The Master of Suspense

Alfred Hitchcock was known as 'The Master of Suspense' due to the most well known director for famous thrillers like Psycho and Vertigo. He was born in August 1899 and died in April 1980 aged 80. He mainly focused on psychological and suspenseful thrillers due to him wanting to make the audience feel on edge and creating something different. His most famous thriller, Psycho, was seen to be terrifying in the 1960's due to it making the audience infer the happens of what is going on. Hitchcock also broke some rules in Psycho, for example, film makers couldn't show looking down the toilet or someone on a bed unless a foot was on the floor. Whereas, today, we wouldn't really take any notice. In my opinion, Hitchcock is our inspiration for creating our opening two minutes of a potential psychological thriller film.
