Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's One More Mile To Go

Alfred Hitchcock presents’ One More Mile To Go and The Twilight Zone’s The Hitch-Hiker share many similarities between their narratives. The most noticeable similarity would be the theme of their stories. Both of them involve characters who are driving alone, for the most part, along deserted roads, and who are afraid of something. However, these stories not only share a similar theme but also the elements that were chosen to represent these stories are very similar as well. I will be comparing and contrasting among the two film for the elements that support the narrative. There aren’t any definite settings for the films as our characters are constantly traveling. One More Mile To Go starts at a house in the countryside where we saw the

In One More Mile to Go, my favorite camera movement is during the scene where Jacoby is thinking about what to do with the body the camera moves backwards as he walks to the garage. We have a medium shot as he is thinking and walking around looking, he turns around and reaches to grab something. The camera zooms out and we see that he has a shovel.

The acting wasn 't really great, but this film had a great variety of shots and that 's what leads me to believe that the editing group had the most control because they made it so that the final product had the suspense that it needed through editing. As for The Hitch-Hiker, I believe that the director had the most control over it.
