Need help from Film Lovers (rather urgently)

I need to write a quick filler page on why Hitchcock was an iconic filmmaker. But my computer is on the blink and the notes I had have disappeared. I need the info for an issue we are closing today.

Film-making is not really my area of expertise so does anyone out there have any views? Obviously in the original I mentioned his use of suspense and his bigger movies. What else should I include?

Thanks in advance movie goers.

Black humour. Editing. Iconography. Psychopathology of everyday life. No wasted shots.

Ha, his girth has already been noted and i have included his famous bladder quote.

Easily caricatured/drawn including the famous Alfred Hitchcock Presents silhouette and outline. Also his cameos, esp. the one in his last film Family Plot where he appears in silhouette.

Attention to on screen detail on a macro level coupled with non-auteur, for the people attitude to entertainment/end product.

Cheers

He not only incorporated complex psychoanalytic theory into his filmmaking, but also did so in a way that explored the issues he was employing in his work.

Also (kind of similarly to the first point) he created viewing relations of the film audience on a whole other level (i.e. he made you identify with the voyeuristic psychos, made you aware of it, and made you like it!)

He loved to punish helpless blonde women (supposedly there were lots of reports from several of his leading actresses having felt very uncomfortable around him on set, him who I guess was hitting on them).

No editing, every shot begins and ends as it's filmed (i.e. never wasted shots, e.g. Rope, which was all continuous).

He didn't do the 10 minute take in that many movies. The Psycho shower scene is a slightly famous example of him working the edit. I like the concert scene in the remake of Man Who Knew Too Much, meself.

Another iconic feature in his films: lack of privacy/safety in the most intimate of settings, and lack of safety/refuge in the most busy, public sphere.

And cameos, I guess.

A distancing idealization of (blond) women, often but not always followed by their symbolic or actual sacrifice at the hands of tormented men.

DEFFFFINITELY editing and the rhythm of his cuts.

also shot composition.

and got his bellybutton surgically removed, too.

xpost to noodle vague: I don't mean all continuous stuff. But he, to avoid intervention of the studio's editors, shot all his scenes so that nothing was cut, they begin and end where they do.
