During the shooting of "Imperial Soul", Alfred Hitchcock divided a film into eight sections, covering the black screen with a close-up of the character's back or the lid, or using the character's sight as the editing point.
Alfred Hitchcock adopted the "one mirror to the end" shooting method in "Imperial Soul". In order to achieve the effect, all the cast and crew conducted a 10-day rehearsal before the film was officially filmed.
Because of the color of the sky, the crew spent 9 days reshooting the film.
All the shooting scenes of "Imperial Soul" were completed in a small room.
The first time the film was shot, the radio equipment was abandoned and only the picture was taken. The second time the film was taken, the camera was dropped and only the sound was taken; then, the production staff combined the sound and the picture in the post-production stage.
"Imperial Soul" is the first color film shot by Alfred Hitchcock. In order to avoid the tendency of overuse and chaotic use of colors, Hitchcock reduced the use of colors in the film.
When Alfred Hitchcock saw that the timing and plot of the script coincided with each other, he decided to shoot the film as a one-shot movie.

This film is awesome, better than many other Hitchcock films. Psychological warfare has reached its limit. Moreover, the theory of killing a sub-human being casually satirized the Nazis and laid the foundation for Nietzsche's superman theory and the spirit of the cult film. What's awesome is of course the superb directorial skills of performing 80 minutes of film in such a small room without boring. When Rupert muttered about the imaginary scene, the lens moved from one object to another, allowing the audience to fill in the imagination space by themselves. This shooting technique was impressive.

From the debate between the first class and the second class, I really didn't think I was talking about homosexuality, but the way the camera went on opened up a new era. The script is so evil, I feel trembling all over when I think about it! The audience seemed to have acted as accomplices in the murder unconsciously, and even hoped to escape the sanctions...
