Vertigo Shots

There is a classic lens in Vertigo, where the hero with acrophobia looks down on the stairs, which produces a kind of dizziness. At first I thought it was a model made by Hitchcock, and the model can be retracted. Understand that the stair model will not change at all, this is just the deformation of the lens telephoto and wide-angle.

The telephoto shot compresses the space, that is, the distance between the close and long shots taken is closer than the actual situation, while the wide angle is the opposite, which has the effect of increasing the space, and the distance between the close and long shots taken is farther than the actual situation.

Vertigo Shots just used this method. The zoom lens was changed from telephoto to wide-angle, and the body was pushed forward, thus basically keeping the shooting range unchanged, but the spatial effect of shooting has changed. Of course, it can also be changed from wide-angle to telephoto, while the body is pulled back to compress the space.

may have been created by Hitchcock. I saw a collection on youtube, except for Vertigo and some of his imitators.

    [8.8/10] The nightmare part can be consecrated. The ending is WTF. Hitchcock's ability to create a suspenseful atmosphere is too strong.

    To be honest, the plot really dragged on, but because it was Hitchcock's work, I didn't dare to fast-forward for a second. In the second half, I saw the heroine's death. After thinking about it, I didn't know how he would reverse this scene. I even began to doubt that female friend in the form of science fiction films. It turned out that it was. It feels like Hitchcock is writing a proposition composition using the word "ecstasy" to create an unconventional story based on a stress-induced post-traumatic stress that is afraid of heights. High is really high. The zoom on the high stairs is very sharp, but James Stewart's sly and glib look really doesn't like Jin Novak's first look at her beautiful two makeup looks completely changed.

Vertigo quotes

  • Judy: I have to go to work. I've got a job.

    Scottie: Don't go to your job.

    Judy: And what'll I live on? My oil wells in Texas?

    Scottie: Let me take care of you, Judy.

    Judy: Thanks very much, but, no thanks.

    Scottie: No, Judy, you don't understand.

    Judy: Well, I understand, all right. I've been understanding since I was seventeen. And the next step is?

  • Scottie: We could just see a lot of each other.

    Judy: Why? Because I remind you of her? Not very complementary. And nothing else?

    Scottie: No.

    Judy: Not very complementary, either.
