1. Do you see the beginnings of the "Hitchcock touch" in this sequence? Please provide specific examples.
In the sequence, I see little touches that would be come things Hitchcock is known for. The scene show is attention to details, like the man on the street eyeing and stealing the letter from the women which to me looks like it could be a MacGuffin.
2. Do you agree or disagree with Strauss, Yacowar, and Spoto assessments that this sequence contains elements, themes, or approaches that we will see throughout Hitchcock's 50-year career?
I agree will Strauss, Yacowar, and Spoto, Hitchcock started with ideas and touches, while over time he refined things that worked and became known for those things.
3. Since this is a silent film, do you feel there were any limitations on these opening scenes due to the lack of synchronous spoken dialogue?
Because this is a silent film there are limitations but is how Hitchcock worked with them and around with camera shots and angles and though the acting.
