(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.

The scene in Radio City Music Hall,
:20:03
which is where the film first played,
:20:06
l find myself coming into a side
entrance of Radio City Music Hall.

:20:13
This was a very interesting
experience with Hitchcock,

:20:17
because when you're in a scene,
he just lets you go.

:20:22
But in this instance he wanted
definite looks because of his cuts.

:20:27
He told me, "Now look over there.
Now l want you to look over there."

:20:32
"Now look there.
Now look there. Now go."

:20:38
Now l ran. l ran up onto the stage.
:20:40
The movie that was being played had
a scene that involved gunplay.

:20:45
What we ' re playing
:20:47
on the stage of the theatre
:20:50
with the real audience,
or with the audience,

:20:53
is also gunplay.
:20:55
We must have shot a piece of film
:20:57
that involved
the timing with that shooting

:20:59
in the movie within the movie.
