In the Lodger, Hitchcock applies many cinematographic techniques to produce interesting and suspenseful scenes in the films. The contrast of light and dark is used to create a mystery about the story. The audiences are curious and want to know what is going on and what will happen in the film. At the very beginning of the film, the words "to-night golden curls" are written on a dark background, a represent of evil, of dangerous and mystery. Throughout the film, there is a big question about who actually is the serial killer. The film becomes more interest when the angle of framing is used to film the scene at 26:18. It is Tuesday night, the night that "Avenger" would kill someone. The lodger is walking out of his room, dressing like how the witness describes about the killer. The camera is placed significantly lower than him indicate that he is the dominant of the scene. This technique is mostly used to show the power of the character in the scene and how important he is in the scene. Medium long shot is also used in this scene to emphasize the way he dresses. He is in deep focus so that the audience can see that he is in front of his room, looking around to see if someone notices that he is going out at night. The next scene again deeply focuses on the stair as he is walking down along. The stair is long and twisted brings up the feeling of a long difficult way to get to somewhere. This scene relates to the lodger's situation. He is going around and around to track down the killer. On the next scene, when Daisy's mother is looking down from her window, she sees the lodger is walking away in light. The act of walking out from the dark to the light indicates that he is going to find the justice, the truth about the killer. These are the scene that I found very interesting to me.
