Discontinuity Editing Part 3: Sergei Eisenstein and Alfred Hitchcock

This brief video continues from the previous introduction to Soviet Montage and Sergei Eisenstein with a look at the way that Eisenstein influenced the thought and filmmaking of Alfred Hitchcock. First, we look at a segment of a Hitchcock interview in which Hitchcock explains the logic of continuity editing vs Soviet Montage, and then we look at two examples of sequences that bear the influence of Eisenstein's style of editing.

*Content Warning*: This video contains brief clips from the shower sequence from Psycho (Hitchcock, 1960), which features violence and female nudity.
