The Suspense and Mystery created successfully by Alfred Hitchcock in Spellbound and Rope When mention about suspense, “Hitchcock” must be the first word appears out in the mind.

Spellbound is the first batch of film using the topic of Psychoanalysis. Rope is the first experiment film made by Hitchcock.

Citizen Kane is directed, produced by and stars Orson Welles and was made in 1941. Citizen Kane does not come under one specific film genre but falls under the heading of several interesting genres, which include biography, narrative, detective and news-paper reporter genre. ‘Film Noir’ is also associated with Citizen Kane as it has many genres but also a very specific style that differs from the classical norm of Hollywood movies. This movie became extremely significant for its time and changed the face of film history. Orson Welles brought about a new way of filming with his use of low angle shots, three point lighting, transition shots and deep focus.

This is the cause of Miller’s near-mystic reputation as a Director of such action films: a positive, intuitive sense of where and when to amend from the expressive detail to the broader view, and vice versa. Those intuitions were also there in the first “Mad Max,” and they are reviving here as well.

This transition sets us up perfectly for Act 2 by finally moving on with the story, and making us change our central question. Our new question being, “Is Chris gonna get away?” or “What are they gonna do to Chris?” The backstory of Roses family all makes sense now, A mother who hypnotises people, and a brain surgeon father.

He uses well known film theory such as, setting, first image, setting up central questions, act transitions, so fluently.

First of all, sound is an important concept in any movie. Although there are silent films, sound adds a whole different aspect. Non Diegetic sounds create emotion through what type of music is playing. Deep toned sounds create a bad vibe for villains or bad guys while light, upbeat sounds create good vibes and joy for heroes or good guys. For example, in the movie “Edward Scissorhands,” Director Burton uses Non Diegetic sound in the scene where

Finally, a type A personality can be seen throughout the entire movie. Rain Man did a outstanding job showing the characteristics of s type A personality.
