Alfred Hitchcock

Lodger – Opening Scene

 The film starts
of with the
production title
with suspense
leading tune
being non-
diegetic.

After that scene

the next shot is
of the title and a
shadow man
dressed in black,
symbolising
more suspense
as well as
negative vibes
towards the
audience.
Next two shots
show the opening
credits of Lodger.
The non-diegetic
sound stills carry
on through the
credits .
 The next shot
begins with the
title scene
showing the
man in black
and the
shadow. The
suspense of the
song carries on.

The next shot

then begins
with the
certificate and
sound tune is
still playing
again.
 Soon after the
scene a image
of a lady with a
shocking image
which,
potentially
would alarm the
audience as it is
sudden.

The last shot in the

opening scene is a
women on the phone
seeming hesitant and
worried, therefore this
builds up the tension
for the audience as
there are many
hanging puzzles.
