Who was Hitchcock?

Hitchcock was a revolution in the thriller film genre. He understood how to give that sense of a character which was isolated and really understood how to build suspense.
Alfred hitchcok understood that by hinting at the threat however not making it the center of attention until half way through the film, fear factor would be far more effective.
His first break into the film industry was designing the titles for silent films.
His first american movie was called 'Rebecca' made in 1940.
It won best picture at 1940 film awards.
After his 1946 film 'Notorious' he started producing his own films. This allowed him to make films which he felt alot more passionate about.
Mr.Hitchcock wasn't afraid to push the boundaries of what he showed on screen this was most apparent in the murder scene during the film psycho; which was seen as many as grotesque and unlike anything they had seen before.  After the birds and psycho his movie career somewhat wound down, however he received many honorees for his duties to film for example he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
