Shadow of a doubt
In todays lesson we watched the opening of Shadow of a doubt, and we focused on the Mise-en-scene. In the film i noticed that they wore fancy cloths and was happy. The main character had money on the floor and was smoking a Cigar which shows that his wealthy because he can afford all that. But because of the fact that he had the money on the floor like it was nothing it made him look like he doesnt care about life. The music was also parallel because when we was runing away from the chasers the music was up beat. Another factor is that when the blinds came down the protaganist mood also changed as he had his drink the smashed the glass against the sink.
North by Northwest
In the opening scene we can see from the begining that he is a wealthy man as he had fancy suit and his hair was tied back, he also was telling his secutery to buy chocolate for his mistress but he doesnt really care about her. But he must be very vein because when he was in the cab he worried about if he was getting fatter, and he also made sure that he didnt have any drinks because he said his mother checks his breath. Suggesting that he is still treated like a boy and maybe also that he is a alcoholic. Then in the crop scene when the plane was after there was no dialog or no music. Maybe to build up tension on that the plane could hit him.
Vertigo
Vertigo was all about this cop that discovers that he was afraid of heights, he discovers this when he was chasing a criminal on the rooftops. His colige dies trying to help as he fell of the roof then after that he decided to retire from the police force.
