Thriller film directors

Alfred hitchcock directed more than 50 fifty films of his time. He is one of the most popular directors in the film industry and is well know for his interesting thrillers such as Physco,Frenzy,Vertigo,Notorious and North by Northwest. He often used the 'wrong man' or 'mistaken identity' theme in his films and often had a quick cameo. In order to create suspense in his films , he would alternate between different shots to extend cinematic and often used a bathroom of a plot device as either somewhere to hide of a place for lovemaking.

Martin Scorsese is a more recent thriller director than alfred hitchcock and is still in directing to date. He has directed many films such as Goodfellars, Taxi driver,The Aviator,Gangs of New York and The Departed. He often begins his films with segments from either the middle or the end of the film and like Hitchcock he features quick cameo's. His lead characters are often socipathic and want to be accepted in to society and uses people who are disturbed by changes in stereotype. For filming he uses long tracking shocks and many freeze frames to get good impressions of the scene and the character and backs this up with diagetic sound and or music of the rolling stones.
