"Using specific examples, describe how Hitchcock opens The Lady Vanishes. What tone, mood, or atmosphere is Hitchcock establishing for the audience very early on in this picture? Pay particular attention to the music.  \n  \nThe tone in the beginning is much different than the typical Hitchcock: the music is very light-hearted, the characters are a little bit exaggerated, even funny and there is nothing ominous about this opening scene. One might think they are watching a comedy!  \n  \n​There are no sinister overtones and the audience can be fooled into thinking this is a lighthearted film. But knowing Hitchcock, something interesting has to happen! But when? We are the edge of our seats wondering ... a very effective way to engage an audience in the story. "
