Down to its bare essentials, film is image and sound.
Early Hitchcock movies were silent. The lack of sound adds to the simplicity of getting to know Hitchcock's movies.

Separating image and sound exposes the workings of film.
A way out of the impasse of being left with the detritus of the illusion of the cinematic synthesis is to start with the primary material.
I offer a sketch of the workings of film. I also suggest how pervasive images may influence our understanding
of these workings. In this sense, I extend my suggestion that spectatorship is a creative process that can be analysed.
