Alfred Hitchcock. Considered to be the almighty grand master of effect. One of the most famous directors of all time, a pioneer and the creator of classic films such as Psycho, Vertigo and more.
Born on August the 13th, 1899. Alfred Hitchcock's directing skills were a one of the kind deal. The English-born director mastered effects like the "dolly zoom" and the whirling camera. His first film always tell your wife debuted in 1923 and was a short comedy film. Hitchcock was always famous for his use of humour in what could be seen as thriller or not meant to be funny productions. Hitchcock created the most successful sound movies of the generation and period he was in.
Hitchcock was famous for using music and sound for his advantage. He'd manipulate the audience of them days to actually make them believe that they are there and the black and white moving images were in fact a reality. That sounds pretty ridiculous now, but those were the nineteen thirties.
Sir Alfred Hitchcock, KBE left a legacy behind when he unfortunately died on April 29th, 1980. His film techniques are still used for inspiration to this day.
