Vertigo
Vertigo is another one of Hitchcock's famous thrillers.
It uses symbols which are features of the face to show that there is fear in the characters eyes and facial expression. The lips represent a woman which has a straight face, almost traumatized, blank faced, confused to introduce the audience into a thriller which they will not know what's coming, which they are unaware of therefore there face should also be blank. Also the use of the eyes, the eyes pupils are moving from left to right, showing that the character is paranoid and analyzing her surroundings. She also looks very scared with tears in her eyes, this shows that she is petrified. This makes the audience wonder why she is scared? what are her surroundings which are making her look and feel this way?
Also the music compliments the thriller genre. This is because it is typical thriller music which gets increasingly louder and louder creating more tension and building up to a climax which is going to horrify the audience.
Lastly the graphic match which hitchcock use's. He uses the pupil of the eye to stimulate an image which is a twirling image as you can see. This gives an image and suggestion of disillusionment showing confusion and an on going cycle of terror which the audience soon will recognize.
