To many, the director Alfred Hitchcock is known as the master of suspense. He uses different techniques to demonstrate this in his movies. Examples of these are:
A ‘Mac guffin’. This is a plot device used to motivate the characters and advances the story but has little or no relevance to the movie in a whole.
An ‘Enigma’. This refers to a puzzle, something mysterious, inexplicable, a riddle, or a difficult problem. This is usually something that is to be found out by the protagonist.
A ‘Red herring’. This is something that intends to avert the viewers from the truth or possibly an item of greater significance.
