Alfred Hitchcock was the most famous auteur of all time along side Luc Goddard, Tarantino and Kubric they are similar to artists in the sense that they have their own language and use their own creative instincts to make film.
He worked for over 50 years with film, beginning with silent movies, he was a master of suspense. Hitchcock specialised in controlling and manipulating his audiences. The french new wave celebrated Hitchcock's style as a 'Auteur'.Hitchcock began his career in the 1920's using mainly lighting and very little dialogue in a film in order to innovate new aspects of film making
Hitchcock produced his first silent tim which was acknowledged called "the lodger" (1927). the film is Avant grade and an extenuative amount of makeup is used throughout the film to create more effect.
He also did
- Champagne
- Psycho
- Vertigo
- The birds
He almost always used Blond women in his films, so me the actresses used in his film are Cary Grant, Henry Fonda and Doris Day.
Themes which are nearly always used in Hitchcock's films are
- Sexual themes
- Ideas from Freudian theology
- Suspense
- Voyeurism
- Obsession
- Madness
- Murder
He was very interested in surrealism and took influence from Salvador Dali, to help him understand the mind and what scares people.
