Hitchock not as auteur
Limitations of the Hays Code may have forced Hitchcock to compromise his artistic vision – not fully reflective of his style as an auteur e.g. limited in the ways death could be presented
-
- Robert Burks’ cinematography
- Saul Bass’ title sequence
- An argument exists for saying that auteurs couldn’t exist within the mass production model of Classical Hollywood – film as function rather than expression
- Tempered (but only mildly?) by industry constraints
-
- Irmin Roberts – invented the dolly zoom
- Relies too heavily on German Expressionism – highly influenced rather than original
