Alfred Hitchcock was born on the 13th of August 1899, and died on the 29th April 1980. He was a British born film director and is widely regarded as the master of the thriller genre. He's distinct camera style and vision allowed him to be in the Movie business for 50 years. His camera style matched that of a human's 'gaze' which made his films more involving for the audience. He created great films that became Hollywood classics such As North by Northwest (1959), Psycho (1960) and Birds(1963). He never watched his movies as he knew what they would look like shot for shot already as he storyboarded every film before he made it.
Quotes "The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them"
"There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it"
"Always make the audience suffer as much as possible"
