Hitchcock: Mastering Suspense (Hitch For Writers Book 2)

Writing a thriller? Directing a suspense film? Just love Hitchcock?

Alfred Hitchcock, who directed 52 movies, was known as the â€œMaster Of Suspenseâ€; but what exactly is suspense and how can *we* master it? How does suspense work? How can *we* create â€œHitchcockianâ€ suspense scenes in our screenplays, novels, stories and films?

This epic book uses seventeen of Hitchcockâ€™s films to show the difference between suspense and surprise, how to use â€œfocus objectsâ€ to create suspense, the 20 iconic suspense scenes and situations, how plot twists work, using secrets for suspense, how to use Dread (the cousin of suspense) in horror stories, and dozens of other amazing storytelling lessons. From classics like â€œStrangers On A Trainâ€ and â€œThe Birdsâ€ and â€œVertigoâ€ and â€œTo Catch A Thiefâ€ to older films from the British period like â€œThe 39 Stepsâ€ and â€œThe Man Who Knew Too Muchâ€ to his hits from the silent era like â€œThe Lodgerâ€ (about Jack The Ripper), weâ€™ll look at all of the techniques to create suspense!

A detailed look at 17 of Hitchcock's films!
