If you want a recommendation of one film to watch from Hitchcock's vast list of movies, I'd pick Notorius from 1946, with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.

  1. I've always had a liking for horror to a certain extent. Overall, it was good. Although, I would have gone for R.L. Stine, Tim Burton, or someone other that Christopher Nolan.

  4. Great job with your presentation. I found it to be very informative on how this man became such an icon. From being a fan of rock music, I have heard of people who have had troubled pasts (Kurt Cobain with his parents divorce, and Scott Weiland being raped), and they used music as an outlet for their troubles. I can definitly that Hitchcock seemed to use films as a way to escape his past. Like I said, great presentation.

  5. I liked this presentation because it showed a lot about what he went through as a kid but i would have liked to know more about his techniques within movies and what kind of person he is outside the movie production. great job though!

  7. I really liked how you incorporated one of his movie scenes to show us how he really wanted his work to be portrayed and what techniques he used he used in order to achieve this.

  8. Good job. I like the video that you showed us in class. one thing that I learned was that he was well known for suspense. Maybe next time you could look up at the audience.

  10. Alfred Hitchcock is such a nut and i love it! I'm glad you showed the shower scene from "Psycho" because it's such an iconic scene in all of film history. For those who've never scene it before, it was about time they've been exposed to one of Hitchcocks finest pieces. Very informational and enjoyable! Nice work!

  11. This presentation really shed light on who Hitchcock was. I believe to a large portion of society he is still mysterious. I really liked the video clip as well.
