For me, Hitchcock is most important for championing 'pure cinema,' which effectively means visual storytelling. This follows the idea that we should understand what is unique and essential about a medium, and then focus on that. Cinema is essentially moving pictures. It's about vision and movement. It is NOT, as Hitchcock says, "radio with pictures," which a lot of movies are, even today. He also describes this tendency as "pictures of people talking." If you take up this idea, and strive toward visual storytelling, you realise there's a lot of pressure to create 'radio with pictures.' Even if you're just a documentary filmmaker. It's built into the language: we have A roll and B roll. What's the A roll? People talking. Visuals are secondary. Similarly, every film begins with words in a script, and every script is informed by 100s of years of theatre, which again, is mostly a matter of words and talking. Hitchcock is the guy who takes us from Chaplin to the height of sound cinema. He mastered the medium. Tho not Hitchcock, my best example of mastering both visual AND sound storytelling is George Lucas' THX-1138: Walter Murch's sound design is half the film; you need to listen to fully understand what's going on. It's not just world-building background noise

This is why I like submarine movies. The whole thing tends to take place in a high pressure environment and at any point something can go catastrophically wrong. I think I learned something today.

That's a good point! The idea of making your audience work to get them engaged is a decent idea.

While i do like this bomb example, i also thought that you can establish tension, by doing something that shocks the audience, but with a lasting impact, so that they are hooked for the rest of the movie. A great example of this is "Coming Home in the Dark", which is a fantastic thriller, that establishes the main antagonist in such a shocking and brutal way, that the tension from there on never dies down, because we have to expect the worst of them. Their unspeakable cruelty tells the audience in a moment of shock, that these people are essentially like a ticking time bomb, that can go off at any time. But this is just another tool to raise the stakes and i agree with Hitchcocks example too, of course.

True! Obviously a lot of these elements in film come from theater. So I wonder if there are any connections or if cinema really did change a lot of storytelling.

Really appreciate the quality of your content, such a shame you seem to have low veiw counts.

Just on some content haha. Been a rough month stretch but we've been changing our content direction this year so it's just a process. Some of our videos have started going off like a month after release which is kinda annoying. But appreciate it! Have 2 more scripts and a 3rd on the way for this series

@@FrameVoyager they were a great learning tool for me, I definitely watched each at least 3 times. As well as being entertaining. I haven't checked out your reference website yet, but I'm sure it's equally useful. Always a little bit of a problem with finite content like that, there are only so many abandoned digital cameras. What about film or old tv cameras? I know NASA abandoned their hugh rocket tracking cameras they used for Saturn V, always thought that would have been a cool job. But I'm definitely staying around for more content like this too!

Sooooo, did he create Voyeurism or Suspense? Why the change?

He created both. Changing titles to see if it gets more click throughs. We do it for all of our content early on.

New series, will take some time to build the audience for it as it's a bit different than our other content.
