He'd been using these tricks
over the years.

:18:04
He just liked to find new ways
to put them to work.

:18:09
That's the police, all right.
:18:10
- They must be looking for somebody.
- Who could they want?

:18:18
- Me, I guess.
- Oh!

:18:20
When they stopped the caravan,
:18:22
when the police stopped the caravan,
:18:25
we had the real vans
from the caravan in the foreground,

:18:29
with, of course, the live-action people
and live-action police.

:18:35
And then they would get
smaller vehicles going back.

:18:37
And finally, we got to miniatures.
:18:41
And then way in the background,
there were just cutouts.

:18:45
The problem was the people,
so we had full-size people

:18:50
and then little people,
:18:53
and it worked beautifully.
:18:54
I saw it recently, and, well, it works.

(Lloyd) Hitchcock had a favourite
phrase called 'Camera Logic'.

:19:04
And l once asked
him what he meant by that.

:19:07
He said, "The camera is exactly
where it should be to tell the story."

:19:11
That seems very simple.
:19:12
lt seems to be a phrase
that anyone would be aware of,

:19:15
but it's not so, particularly today.

The cameraman on the picture
was Joe Valentine,

:19:24
who was considered one of
the finest cameramen in Hollywood.

:19:29
He had a shot that Hitch laid out
that was quite complicated.

:19:32
and l heard him say to Mr Hitchcock,
:19:35
"Mr Hitchcock, would you like to see
this shot on camera through the lens?"

:19:41
And Hitch said, "oh, no, dear boy."
:19:44
"l've looked through a camera before."
:19:46
l don't recall his ever
looking through a camera.

:19:50
He had the shot all here in the head.
:19:53
Go down the corridor
and through the iron door.

:19:55
It'll take you to the music hall.
We'll go this way.
