"Cotting." Cutting? "Cotting."

Long, (7 mins) but worth it, this is an old Hitchcock interview in which he discusses "cotting." Or as you and I call it, cutting. It's a nice little lesson in editing that ends with the most elementary application:
Subject 1. CUT. Subject 2. CUT. Subject 1's reaction.
As I watch all of his movies, I'm finding this was the foundation of everything he did. It's so simple it's almost comical: Tippi Hedren's face. CUT. 100 birds on a jungle jim. CUT. Tippi Hedren's face, concerned.

Also, I just like to listen to him say, imagery. "Immijjooorry."
