Hitchcock 's opening scene in Marnie (1964) uses color as the motivation to tell the story. The technique he used is very concise, no need to go into details, please look at the camera.
The most conspicuous first shot is the close-up of the yellow leather bag. (Footsteps) The camera keeps shooting her walking away until she puts down the box and stops. 30 seconds: 00 grid
The second shot starts with the word "ROBBED!" said by the manager 04:12
The third shot cut to the open safe 01:18
(This paragraph deletes the scenes of the manager talking with the detective)
The fourth shot is a close-up of the yellow leather bag again (footsteps), but the background has changed. When the camera opened, we saw that it was in the corridor of the hotel. A waiter was walking on the left with many things she bought, from the left. The person who walked out the door was Hitchcock himself. 14:05
The fifth shot is a panoramic view of her room. She is packing up the suitcase. There are two suitcases of different colors. The beige one on the right is new. The camera slowly pushes towards the new suitcase. She puts new things in, and throws all the old things into the old gray box on the left. 19:09
The center of the viewpoint of the sixth lens was moved to the gray suitcase, and the camera position moved a little to the right. The dark gray coat and brown leather shoes were thrown in. 09:21
The seventh shot cuts back to the yellow leather bag under the beige leather suitcase, opens the leather bag, first takes out the small wallet and a small metal box, then turns the leather bag upside down, and pours a bundle of bills into the new suitcase. The empty yellow leather bag was also placed in the gray leather suitcase. 14:09
The eighth shot is cut to close-ups of wallets and small metal boxes. Changing the ID card, we saw that she had four ID cards with different names and birth dates, all of them were born in 59 years old. 27:19
A dissolve appears. Note that the wallet and the black hair of the next shot are in the same area of the frame. 46 cells
The ninth shot, the black hair in the wash basin, the dyed black dissolves in the water. 09:15
The tenth shot cut directly from black hair to golden hair (she lowered her head), she raised her head up, the camera followed, and we finally saw her face. 04:04
The eleventh shot cut directly to her carrying two suitcases of different colors, and only saw her lower body. From the noisy sound, I could tell it was at the train station. She put down the suitcase, opened the locker, put the gray box in, locked the cabinet, and the camera shook her upper body, what she saw. 21:22
The twelfth shot straightened a sewer iron grate. 02:00
The thirteenth shot is a close-up of her right hand holding the locker key, moving with that hand. The hand stopped, the hand was thrown away, the key fell, and a metal clang was heard. 10:21
