I thought it might be interesting to show all of you who like to read my blog a little bit of what I used to get up to before I cornered the market in directing films about mad artists! Below is an online journal published by students of the University of Essex, called ESTRO, which I contributed to a few years ago with an essay on Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Rear Window and its use of the point-of-view shot. I wrote it about 4 years ago now, long before I even thought about picking up a camera, and as such my essay writing skills have probably improved a little bit since then, but since its my first published piece of work I thought I had to show it off!
It starts from page 10 in the document below and if you have an interest in film theory and criticism, or indeed if you have an interest in Alfred Hitchcock, Rear Window, scopophilia, or voyeurism, then hopefully my essay will give you some interesting insights. If it does, or even if it doesn't, I strongly recommend perusing some of the other interesting essays in the journal to feast your intellect on.
Both this copy of the journal and others can be found on the University of Essex ESTRO Journal website: http://www.essex.ac.uk/journals/estro/default.aspx
