North by Northwest.

• Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
• Opening background is green - Nature, life, envy. Green can not always be positive.
• Lines are seen on the left, they could be prison bars.
• The whole sequence intrigues you.
• More vertical lines come up from the bottom. These lines are a little uncomfortable and they join to give a 3D effect.
• The music is orchestral, adds dynamic texture.
• You can hear volin screeches, makes it dramatic.
• The music is high pitch, jittery and frantic.
• The credits used are what thriller films what have used in that time.
• The title of the film has arrows, these show directions the title says. North by Northwest.
• When the lines fade out they reveal a building.
• The face of the building is seen, it creates an uncomfortable feeling.
• Retro Scoping was used over the filmed image to get the lines at the start of the film completely right.
• Iconic yellow cabs are seen so you know the film is set in New York.
• Partially seen road from the skyscraper
• The frantic music fits with the busy road.
• All the main characters of the film are shown, main convention of a thriller.
• Goes into long shot and you are shown a crowded street, in the the morning.
• 'All events are fictitious' this text is shown like in Marnie.
• The music matches the rush hour.
• Cut to higher angle shot so we can see the action steps.
• Cut to people coming down the stairs.
• Cut to two women fighting over a cab. Uncomfortable and animalistic.
• Cut to a shot above people heads, this shows superiority on our part.
