Hitchcock s Lifeboat
I think it’s practically impossible to talk about only one aspect like Editing in Hitchcock’s films. ... The 1944 film “Lifeboat” is one of the big experiments Hitchcock attempted, creating a film in a very limited setting and succeeding in bringing a variety of views and camera shots to keep the audience interested. The whole film that lasts 96 minutes takes place on a single lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, where nine people try to survive and get to land. Considering the limited setting surrounding Hitchcock shows that the possibilities for camera shots with the use of editing are in fact limitless.
