Description
Alfred Hitchcock is often held up as the prime example of the one-man filmmaker, conceiving and controlling all aspects of his films developmentthe archetype of genius over collaboration. An exhibition at the Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University, however, put the lie to Hitchcock-as-auteur, presenting more than seventy-five sketches, designs, watercolors, paintings, and storyboards that, together, examine Hitchcocks very collaborative filmmaking process. The four essays in this collection were written to accompany the exhibition and delve further into Hitchcocks contributions to the collaborative process of art in film.Scott Curtis considers the four functions of Hitchcocks sketches and storyboards and how they undermine the impression of Hitchcock as a lone artist. Tom Gunning examines the visual vocabulary and cultural weight of Hitchcocks movies. Bill Krohn focuses sharply on the film
