The British director and filmmaker Sir Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) is considered one of the masters in the movie industry. Starting his career in Britain, Hitchcock migrated to the USA in 1939 and specialized in the thriller genre.  

He was a backstage expert and used experimentation to find creative ways that would engage the audience. Engagement is one of the key factors for a movie's success and his knowledge about the movie's fascination made him a master of special effects as well. And he still ranks the top of the best special effects specialist, even if consider that today we have the high-technology as a cinema ally.

Hitchcock has used solutions that today would be considered amateur or naïve, but nothing has been improvised. When we say experimentation, we are using the scientific sense of that word, but in an artistic way. He was concerned about how things would appear on screen and if they would be appealing to the audience. So before shooting the scenes, he has probed them in the backstage in an empiric method, just like a scientist.  

Of course, black and white films were easier to delude the audience, but Hitchcock hasn’t lost his power to engage audience, even after the colored era. And he wasn’t afraid to explain how he has reached such success, as he used to give interviews explaining how to make a movie. For example, after Psycho’s (1960) memorable shower scene became a Film’s History landmark, Hitchcock explained that he used chocolate syrup, because it was more convincing on screen than other materials. And he has chosen to shot that movie in black and white because he knew the power of that technique, which have substituted since the late 1930’s.

Aldrich Hitchcock was considered one of the best English director. He has a technique in getting people's attention through the visual effects of his films where some of it are optical effects and others are mechanical effects.The sound and visual techniques require less attention like his film entitled "Blackmail".
Aside from being a director, he is also a producer and he popularized McGuffin technique.

Despite global influences, contemporary theatre tends to maintain the uniform and traditional styles of the country of productio
Alinara [238K]
I think that the above statement is FALSE.

Contemporary means belonging in the present or occurring at the same time. 
Theatre, as we all know, is a collaborative form of fine art that involves live performers playing their parts on a stage in front of live audiences. 

Based on its definition, contemporary theatre present plays that represents the current situation in society. It continually evolve as society changes. Thus, it is not immune to global influences.

What relationship exists between leonardo da vinci's perspective system in the last supper and the painting's actual location?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The painting's perspective is directly linked to the architectural space of its location

Explanation:

This piece of art executed by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1494 uses the perspective to create a sense of depth. <u>To do so, Leonardo used several parallel lines that converge in a vanishing point. The vanishing point in this canvas directs the eye to Jesus Christ, who is set on the center of the painting, and all the lines start from him. To deeply understand and appreciated, this painting must be set in an appropriate location. </u>The Last Supper can be seen in the Piazza di Santa Maria Delle Grazie,<u> and the canvas is positioned on the wall, in a small room, almost a square. When you getting in there, your eyes are obligated to look at directly to the vanishing point, and then to the rest of the canvas.</u> Is how if the room was an extension of The Last Supper.
