Answers: what are some of alfred hitchcocks trademarks e.g. making a cameo in all his films whoever has the most gets 10 points!!!!!!

So how is this for starters:
Cameo appearances- by Hitchcock himself
Ordinary Person - Placing an ordinary person into extraordinary circumstances
Wrong Man - Mistaken identity is a common plot device in his films
Likeable Criminal - The "villain" in many of Hitchcock's films appears charming and refined rather than oafish and vulgar
Stairways - Images of stairs often play a central role in Hitchcock's films
Mothers - Mothers are frequently depicted as intrusive and domineering
Brandy - Hitchcock includes the consumption of brandy in at least five films
Voyeurism - Another aspect of Hitchcock's enthusiasm for perversion is the prominence of voyeurism in many films
Crime - Crime is the foundation for all Hitchcock stories, with some exceptions, such as The Birds
Silent Scenes - As a former silent film director, Hitchcock strongly preferred to convey narrative with images rather than dialogue
Number 13-- Hitchcock has many scenes which use the superstitious nature of the number 13 in his films

Trade Mark

Has a cameo in most of his films.

Likes to insert shots of a woman's hairstyle, frequently close-ups. [hair]

Bathrooms are often a plot device; often a hiding place or a place where lovemaking is prepared for. Hitchcock also frequently used the letters "BM," which stand for "Bowel Movement". [bathroom]

Often used the "wrong man" or "mistaken identity" theme in his movies.

He preferred blondes: The most famous actresses in his filmography were Anny Ondra, Madeleine Carroll, Joan Fontaine, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Eva Marie Saint, Kim Novak, Vera Miles, Janet Leigh and Tippi Hedren.

There is a recurrent motif of loss or assumed identity. While mistaken identity applies to a film like North by Northwest (1959), assumed identity applies to films such as Vertigo (1958), Psycho (1960), Marnie (1964), and The 39 Steps (1935) among others.

Always formally dressed

Usually hired blonde haired women to play the leading women

In order to create suspense in his films, he would use different shots and angles with the camera. For example in Psycho, the shower scene has lots of different angles.

Driving sequences shot in particular way, which typically alternates twixt the character's POV while driving and a close-up shot of those inside car from opposite direction, so as to keep the viewer 'inside' the car and make any danger encountered more richly felt.

The silhouette he drew for himself to put on a Christmas card when he was still living in England. He used this silhouette in both his television shows "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"

In a lot of his films, (more noticeably in the early black and white American films) he used to create more shadows on the walls to create suspense and tension, such as the "Glowing Milk" scene in Suspicion (1941).
