In "North by Northwest", Hitchcock completed a complete and appealing suspense masterpiece through the blending of two narrative lines. The first half of the film consists of Roger's identity recognition and his being pursued and killed. When he meets the heroine, the love line is added to enhance the excitement of the film. As a classic template for the classic Hollywood narrative, in this movie, Hitchcock used many elements, such as the experiment of multiple angles, the use of overprinting, and the coordination of music to create a tense atmosphere, such as in the most famous In the scene of plane killing, the use of low-camera lenses and a large number of subjective lenses, as well as the rapid splicing of multi-directional angles, made the intimidation of planes in the environment and Roger's imminent danger, giving the audience a strong sense of empathy. Secondly, I think Hitchcock is a director who is very good at scene scheduling. He understands how to use camera scheduling to create an atmosphere. For example, in a train station, Roger is a wanted criminal who wants to escape the eyes of everyone. The director used a camera movement to explain the large number of people in the train station, and also explained that the newspaper news was spread all over the floor. At the same time, as the camera moved, he also explained the police's strict defense in the frame. The next second, the same shot continued. Moving, Roger got into the station among the crowd. In addition, Hitchcock is also good at using light to express the character's psychology. When Roger understood the identity of the heroine, a strong beam of light hit Roger's face, showing his inner understanding of the truth. The most important thing is that Hitchcock is very good at how to set up the suspense and how to put the audience in the suspense. Before the truth is revealed, let the audience understand the truth in order to guide the audience into new suspense, such as sudden The knife that appeared behind; the gun hidden behind him; Roger, etc. seen in the reflection of the TV. Hitchcock once said: "Suspense is a technique and means of artistic expression, including two aspects of setting suspense and solving suspense, arranged in the storyline." He understands how to control the audience's heart, in fast-paced editing and suspense Musical music, the control of the camera, and the use of the blonde's love element all make "North by Northwest" both commercial and artistic expression.
