Redfern, N. 2010. Statistical analysis of shot types in the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
One thought on “Redfern, N. 2010. Statistical analysis of shot types in the films of Alfred Hitchcock.”
The author discusses in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thrillers, reverse-angle cuts as s well as big close-ups are used more frequently than long shots and it serves as a distinction between British and Hollywood films. In some of his earlier works, big close-ups are frequently seen and yet in the late 1950s it seems that reverse-angel cuts are more often seen. It is clear that no one single sort of shot style has dominated in the career of Hitchcock, while the development of sound technology on the shot styles of Hitchcock remains quite unknown.
