Hitchcock V. David J. CarusoAlfred Hitchcock has been called the "Master of Suspense" with his unique style of directing his most influential films. David J. Caruso, known for directing some films considered to have that Hitchcock factor. Hitchcock's cinematic era began in the early 1920s with his debut film Tell Your Wife Always (1923) and it was actually a short film that marked the beginning of his career. In the late 1970s with his final production titled Family Plot (1976). During Alfred Hitchcock's era not only was the style different, especially his in particular, but the technology was not as advanced as today, where films have progressed with the use of CGI and complex cameras, special lighting, etc. Alfred Hitchcock had his own special way of making sure his film would create the impact he had imagined in his mind. He was the type of director who focused more on the actual image that showed the plot rather than depending on dialogue with his actors/actresses to convey the story verbally (dialogue). With his constant use of editing where he zooms in on certain objects (e.g. a bag of money on a table) and then links to a particular event in which the plot takes place. The different use of camera angles he focuses on the most because he believes that is what helps tell the story. For example, placing two characters in one frame to engage background activity while they have a conversation. Or switching between close-ups of characters' faces during a dialogue scene to make the conversation more natural for the audience. The same concept is in mind when you place the camera angle at what is called ground level where you capture both characters but from a...center of paper......and his wife are arguing. This helps the audience because of the protagonist's expression that something suspicious is happening. Later, in the next scene, comes the arrival of what he thinks is a friend who has helped him and back and forth between her and the protagonist the conversation seems natural with the “” technique. When Disturbia compared to Hitchcock's film Rear Window doesn't really begin until scene 11 where the protagonist picks up binoculars and Caruso uses a similar technique where he places the camera on the character's point of view where the audience can observe the same thing like him and in this case he's the next door neighbor and he's watching through a small window and the camera goes back and forth between the full view of the character watching to the zoom where we capture the event he witnesses.
