Rope

the trailer of rope is effective as it draws the audience in therefore leaving them with suspense to want to find out what happened and why nobody had seen him. It's a typical Alfred Hitchcock film where you do not find out what occured until the end even more so the hero is resourceful to be able to thawt the plans of the villains who are better equipped as they have a gun concluding the typical aspect of a Hitchcock thriller as the villains drive the plot along. Also the aspect of the film is inviting everyone round for a party to celebrate getting a job however nobody cares about that everyone is concerned with the disappearance of their class mate David who they murdered and is within the same room as everyone else they are trying to commit the perfect murder.

some background information shows; Rope’ is adapted from Patrick Hamilton's 1929 Play which itself was said to be based on the grisly Leopold and Loeb case of 1924. Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were upper-class Chicago law students who murdered of a teenage boy. Like snobbish Brandon and Philip in the Hitchcock film, the real-life murderers considered themselves Nietzschean supermen whose superiority of intellect exempted them from laws that govern the rest of us. "Good and evil, right and wrong were invented for the ordinary average man, the inferior man, because he needs them," claims Brandon, the deluded mastermind of the murder.

within this film because it's a thriller it's always fast paced and filmed with frequent action but also the whole film occurs within one apartment in which they lay the food upon the top of the chest where the body is laying underneath to behold them as being superior if they are able to pull it of without anybody knowing it was them. Suspense is used several times in Rope when the guess leaves and James Stewart purposely leaves his coat for an excuse to go back up their when everyone has gone therefore the weaker one o the 2 starts to panic when he buzzes saying he wants to come back up. Throughout the film contains dramatic irony they don't know what has happened to David however we knows he is in the room dead in the chest. Hitchcock wanted to film it in one sequence however the reels came in 10 minutes therefore he filmed continuously for 10 minutes this was effective however if u made one mistake you have to retake the whole 10 minutes again therefore wasting the reel and also taking alot of time to therefore film. to hide behind characters to move from scene to scene is a brilliant idea as it's very unique and usual therefore timing has to be precise and perfect therefore being able to pull that of is phenomenal. The film brings a sense of the audience and actors are trapped within a confined space adding tension. a main exciting factor is at any minute anyone of the actors could open the trunk therefore foiling their plan of committing the perfect murder. 

One innovative part of the film was the studio skyline-backdrop, with fibreglass clouds, a travelling sun and neon lights that blinked a garish red and green as the film reached its climax.
