This is the opening scene to Alfred Hitchcock's film, Rope, which I have been looking at this week. I wanted to show the opening scene of the film, as it is very different to most psychological thrillers that I have watched. This is because most psychological thrillers build up the story and tension in the film, before the situation takes place, in this case, the murder takes place of their friend David Kentley. The film starts with Opening credits, like many old films do; it allows us to establish the location of the film and where it will be held (New York). After the finishing of the Opening credits, the music changes in the background and makes the audience feel tension build, when the camera changes to zoom in on a window, from which it cuts and you see two men strangling a man. They make note of the equipment used (a thick rope), which is being used to murder to male victim. This is different to the conventional psychological thriller, as most conventional psychological thrillers, build up the story and the tension before the main plot of the story takes place.
