Alfred Hitchcock - father of thriller genre


After watching a few of of his films and doing some research it seems Alfred Hitchcock was a key figure in helping to shape the modern-day thriller genre.The way he seemed to do this was by introducing the suspence aspect to these types of film,this really giving it the edge as it helps to draw in the viewer to want to wait and see what happens.You get a strong feel of this from his movie physco.I want to use key elements like suspence building in my thriller opening. Here is a link to the tralier of the film pscho where you can begin to see these elemnts of suspence being incoraprated but also generic thriller elements. This is a website that shows other key thriller directors and also gives background on them and what have contributed to the world of the thriller genre.
