Hitchcock inspired short films ideas

[ChrisHutchy]

Hey,

I need to make a video in the style of Alfred Hitchcock but I'm struggling to come up with ideas. I've only got one actor and limited locations.

If you're not familiar with Hitchcock's work here are some key elements:

• Give the audience all the facts to create suspense
• Keep the audience in mind
• Ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations
• The MacGuffin (What the characters are after but the audience don’t care about)

Thanks

Chris

Always been obsessed with Hitchcock, particularly Rear Window. I'd say another key element would be the score? Anything that can further draw your audience in.

Hitchcock always showed up in the movies himself for a glimpse of a moment.
Very typical is probably the shadow on a shower curtain.
