I have research into a thriller called North by Northwest, produced by Alfred Hitchcock which is an 1959 movie starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason.
This thriller is about a hapless New York advertising executive, called Roger Thornhill who is mistaken for a government agent named George Kaplan, by Foreign spies as he migrates across the country looking for a way for himself to survive.
In this thriller there are many techniques used to have the audience feel mislead; these are as followed cliffhangers, red herrings and suspense.
Suspense is risen in the scene where the plane crop duster attack near a Midwest cornfield, where we the audience are stuck not know the fate of Roger Thornhill, as he is in a life or death situation.
Red herring is used in the scene of where Thornhill is shot by Eve and we are left to believe that his life is over. We then later find that this is a set up for Eve's attempt to escape from Vandamme, and the shot of the bullet was actually a blank.
