''It must always be remembered that the primary aim of pictures is to provide entertainment. To entertain people, one must first capture their interest.''

    This is a quote from the late, great Alfred Hitchcock. He had an eccentric taste for the mise-en-scene of his movies. He often chose mundane locations for his film openings. Hitchcock adopted this as somewhat of a juxtaposition in his signature thrillers.
'' In a light-hearted setting, th advent of drama is made all the more effective by it's unexpectedness...The more happy-go-lucky the setting, the greater kick you get from the sudden introduction of drama.''
A majority of his suspense film's opened in bright daylight accompanied by the diegetic sound of playful music.
