Hitchcock had been in the industry since 1919, working for German companies during the Silent Era. Looking through Hitchcock’s work and various interviews, I obtained valuable knowledge of the use of psychology of his audience to create his masterpieces. Having a look into cinematography and psychology I have gained an interest in Britain’s best director of the 20th century according to the internet and various critics, Alfred Hitchcock, who has had a huge impact on development of cinematography. By comparing scenes that use similar techniques and applying Hitchcock’s method and theories to The Lion King will show how successful Disney have been in reading their audience.

The use of psychology throughout their production is evident in studio and film. Disney is well known for successful storytelling, even creating guidelines for animating. The Lion King is universally known as a classic, winning many awards throughout the years and is the highest grossing traditionally animated film according the Box Office Mojo (2014).

I am going to concentrate on some of Hitchcock’s techniques and methods, by analysing his film Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and apply them to Disney’s The Lion King (1994).
