Research into famous Thriller/Horror directors

ALFRED HITCHCOCK 'the master of suspense' - He is a notorious film maker most famously associated with Film Noir, 'vertigo' and 'Psycho.' He inspired a new generation of filmmakers and revolutionized the thriller genre, making him a legend around the world. I am interested in Hitchcock because of his imaginitive skils and his ability to provide the viewer with a plot full of suspense, mystery and horror. I hope to be able to mirror particular film language techniques (camera, sound, editing and mise en scene) he uses in order to produce and edit a successful horror opening sequence.

JOHN CARPENTER
- Who is mostly known for his direction of the 1970's horror 'halloween' and other horrors such as 'the fog' and 'the thing'
I am intruiged by Carpenter because he focuses on the sheer fear and the unknown of human kind and its impact on society. This interests me because within his films, the technical codes he perpetuates allow the viewer to appriciate the plot and its meaning, which is what i aim to try and achieve in the production of my opening sequence.
