"One director who has significantly influenced my work is Alfred Hitchcock. His mastery of suspense and innovative camera techniques have deeply impacted my approach to storytelling. For instance, in my latest project, I employed his use of the 'dolly zoom' to create a sense of unease and tension. Hitchcock's ability to build suspense through visual storytelling has taught me the importance of every frame and shot in conveying emotion and narrative."
