1) There are a few things that I've noticed in this clip that will become the beginnings of Hitchcock. These are: blonde women, POV shots, and the close ups of items that will become important to the scene or the overall film.
2) I completely agree with Strauss, Yacowar, and Spoto when they say that this scene contains elements that will become a staple to Htichcock's career. I feel that here is experimenting with ideas and would later perfect them in future films.
3) I do not believe there were any limitations at all. Because even as early in his career that this film was made, Hitchcock understood that film is a language. He knew how to convey to the audience what happening in his camera angles and his direction of that actors. Without dialogue we know and can completely understand what is happening in the scene. This is not always an easy feat to accomplish, so silent film directors needed to become experts at this craft.
