Psycho 1960
This is the one Hitchcock movie that I was most excited to see because of the great shower murder scene. Psycho and Vertigo shift from mystery to suspense and end with an unexpected twist. I like how Hitchcock decided to shoot the film in black and white because it helped create the suspenseful mood that keeps you at the edge of your chair. I enjoyed watching both films but I think I liked Psycho a little more because it was more exciting to watch.

Spring Breakers 2012
Another example I want to write about is the last sequence of the film. It starts at around 1:20:49 and goes on for the remainder of the movie. In this sequence, the two remaining girls seek revenge and go out on a shooting spree. After they kill their intended target, they return home in his stolen car. The scene is very much influenced by Godard as it's face paced and contains various jump cuts.

Spring Breakers 2012
Spring Breakers' unconventional editing style is greatly influenced by filmmakers such as Eisenstein and Godard. A sequence I might want to write about takes place from 1:03:46-1:08:11. During this sequence, a trio of seemingly innocent college girls are dancing around in ski masks and carrying shotguns, while a drug and arms dealer is playing Britney Spears' "Everytime" on the piano. I chose this sequence because it really illustrates the meaning behind the movie. Eisenstein influences this sequences as it's a montage where shots appear to collide against each other creating a sort of irony.

Breathless 1960
An example of when Godard "breaks a rule" of filmmaking in Breathless is the scene where Michel and his acquaintance are having a conversation in her room. There seems to be no shot/reverse shot during the entire conversation. Shot/reverse shot allows the audience to see both people engaging in the conversation. It's when the camera is looking over the shoulder of the listener at the person who's talking. Godard only shows the camera going back and forth on the characters…
