North by north west.
Alfred Hitchcock
Thriller
USA, 1959.
I like the long shots of the setting at the beggining of the scene and i like the way that the car and the plane are made out to be really loud noises when actually they are everyday noises which people don't notice much anymore.
I also like the way that the plane is shown in a shot of its own and then it cuts to a reaction shot from the main character.
I also like the way the colours and sense of emptyness the scene gives also portrays the feelings of the character because he feels empty because he don't know who he is waiting for and where there going to come from.
I think the camera angles between the two characters as the 2nd man gets out of the car uses proxemics very well because he shows them on either side of the road and he uses a long shot because you can see the scenery aswell.
I also like the way that Hitchcock has used a sense of tension and an false plato because then the plane comes into the conversation because the 2nd man says the plane shouldn't be their because their is no crops which makes the spectator arouse questions of actually why is it there and then the plane is bought in to shot and then trys to kill the main character and then the scene ends with a reaction shot from the main character.I like the way that there is only diegetic sounds used because this increases the tension and arouses more suspicion for the spectator.
