3. Film: North By Northwest
Genre: American Thriller
Setting: New York 1959
Plot: Difficult to decipher the plot in the sequence however it is evident that the film is set in
New York. The music suggests that the plot will have some action or possibly foreshadows a
chase scene. The rush hour could also show that the film will be fast paced with little
emphasis on individual character storyline.
Sequence type: The sequence is animated at first. A grid is eventually formed which
transitions into a shot from an office block on a busy New York street whilst the credits roll.
The camera cuts to a bust street with many people heading in different directions signifying
rush hour. This could be a sign that there will be many people who influence the plot of North
by Northwest.
