Alfred Hitchcock The Rope

            The movie rope is based on a real life incident that occurred. It is basically about two young men who commit a murder just to see what it's like. The plot line revolves around the men committing the murder and their old school teacher becoming suspicious of the crime.
             Alfred Hitchcock used a lot of different tactics in this movie to make it suspenseful. The movie wasn't really frightening, I don't think its main objective was to frighten people. However I think that the movie was really suspenseful and there were a number of different things that helped add to the suspense. The whole atmosphere in general helped create a suspenseful mood throughout the movie. .
             There was a great use of music in this film which helped add to the suspense of the movie as well. There was music leading up to significant events and both the volume of the music and the tune would change depending on which part of the movie it was. The music was well adapted to the different scenes and it really helped add to the whole mood of the film. The film wouldn't be as suspenseful without the music. The whole piano playing in the movie was added music. Whenever Phillip would get nervous he would start playing the piano. One point in the movie that the music was well suited was when Phillip was playing the piano and Rupert was asking him very suspicious questions. Every time the questions bothered him the music got louder it was a very good combination and added to the suspense as to what would result from their conversation and whether Phillip would say anything or not. The music makes the watcher feel more connected to the movie and they feel a lot more into the movie and it helps generate the right kind of emotion for the movie. So music in general was used by Alfred Hitchcock to add to the suspense of the movie.
             It was said that in many of his movies Alfred used black and white film even when color was already available to add to the suspense and frighten his audience.
