The former has a lot of leather work which displays a sense of high status and professionalism, being that Mr Elster is an esteemed individual in a secondary sector business. Red and Brown – These colours are mostly used as the backdrop and colour for settings and props, like Mr Elster’s office and the restaurant Ernie’s.While the acting style of the actors applied well to the character’s personality and portrayed the key traits that aid in the understanding of the film, Hitchcock focused on using colours to establish a certain mood or atmosphere in a particular scene: This film has a mise-en-scene filled with implicit details that allow the audience to reduce further characteristics of the story. The topic of the discussion serves as an explanation of what followed the horrific, near-death experience for Ferguson, his medical state as well as providing more details about the major characters in the film by introducing the audience to Wood’s home and relationship with Ferguson. Following the first scene, Ferguson and Midge Wood, his friend for years, are sitting in an apartment conversing. This choice of the scene immediately captures the audience’s attention while also setting up the main plot point of the film is the fear of heights and sensation of vertigo felt by John Ferguson (James Stewart). The film begins right within the action of a police chase, with establishing shots of the city night-life on top of building roofs. ‘Vertigo’, like any other Alfred Hitchcock film, has a brilliant, multi-layered storyline filled with characters settings with intricate details that give clues about the narrative to the audience.
