I visualize a picture right down to the final cuts. I write all this out in the greatest detail in the script, and then I don’t look at the script while I’m shooting. I know it off by heart, just as an orchestra conductor needs not look at the score. It’s melancholy to shoot a picture. When you finish the script, the film is perfect. But in shooting it you lose perhaps 40 per cent of your original conception- AH
I don't agree about the shooting of the film, but more script details - or at least clear, concise details- might not be a bad thing.

Jim's films may not have a script in the traditional sense but I think he applies one in the editing booth. It is very subtle but there is still a beginning, rising middle, and climatic end, i.e. script.
No?

Hello folks,
I'm looking for some decent books on the directing techniques of Alfred Hitchcock. For example is there a book out there that talks on the making of Rear Window.
