Alfred Hitchcock- Shadow Of a Doubt 1943

The opening of this film is concerned about the actor uncle charlie, the setting is in the city before we are introduced to the character charlie. At the start of this scene as we see the setting of the city it looks rough and untidy and the people don't look very friendly but as we get to see Charlie's character we see that he is a wealthy man by the way that he is dressed because he is smartly dressed.

Settings + Props- at the beginning of the scene it is set in the Central Ward of Newark, New Jersey, this area was very rough and untidy and portrayed as unpleasant, but the setting in Santa Rose was the complete opposite where little charlie was compare to uncle charlie because in Santa Rose everyone looked happy, so therefore it was portrayed as peaceful and a friendly place to be. There were many props in the opening scene these were: Uncle Charlie holding a cigar which portrayed as him being the antagonist because most guys with a cigar in movies are always the antagonist. uncle charlie presents himself as dressing to impress as he is dressed smartly.Also during this scene we see the number 13 on the door which also could show someone as being a antagonist because the number 13 is an unlucky number
