I wanted to find other information about Alfred Hitchcock and came across this drama that was on BBC 4, I found it informative and interesting to find out more about the life of Hitchcock before his film making days. When he was younger he had a fear of the police due to an incident and the schooling he had at a Jesuit school left him very fearful throughout his schooling life.
He escaped these miseries by going to the theatre, when he left school he had an interest in film and applied for a job to design titles for silent films.
The introduction of better lighting and effects and the introduction to German effects in cinema after a visit to Berlin really inspired Hitchcock and he would take these into his films later on. His first few directed films showed what would become his signature aspects of films: voyeurism and portrayal of fear.
