Shadow of a doubt Hitchcock (1943)
Uncle Charlie –antagonist
Charlie-protagonist
Setting –city/rough area/lower class
Music-classical, then disturbing/suspense
The music contrast between how wealthy and poor the people are in the film
Upper class people were wearing ball gowns, with their hair tied back and they had suits on and hats, showed they were rich and wealthy people, whereas the little boys playing in the street were muddy, wearing ripped clothes that were too big for them, some were homeless because they didn’t have a lot of money.
Uncle Charlie-money/rich/expensive/ cigar in hand/mart suit/laid back/relaxed doesn’t fit in with the people that live there. When the lady leaves, and pulls the blind down he comes to life like a vampire, capable of violence when he smashes up the glass. To men chase after him, but they lose him, waits and smokes a cigar, smart/cool/carm knows what his doing. Whereas the little girl lives in a happy/rich/carm/nice community. She is in the same position as him before on the bed. Shows she is like her Uncle Charlie but opposite as well
He murders widows for their money and the suspense of the film is whether or not Charlie will find out and if she does what is she going to do and is she in any danger?.
