Hitchcock

Between all three movies- The 39 Steps, Rear Window, and Vertigo- there was a scene in which no dialogue was said and yet the screaming with narration. Hitchcock used the editing in these scenes to bring out a dramatic story without using sound.
In the 39 Steps the "prayer scene" shows the story of how the 'wronged man' is trying to explain to the crofter's wife what is going on. There are a series of shots of the faces of the man, the wife, and the crofter in which we see the fear in the woman's face, the desperation in the man's, and the confusion in the crofter's. This helps to carry along the theme of the wronged man being completely blamed for everything.
In Rear Window the opening scene narrates the whole character of Jeff without saying a word. The camera moves through his apartment showing his broken leg, cast sarcastically signed, the heat of the day, the broken camera, and all his famous photographs (one of a possible extreme car accident). These shots all help the audience learn who Jeff is and how he got to be where he is without having to explain anything through dialogue.
In Vertigo, the whole "chase scene"/"stalker scene" shows who "Madeline" thinks she is. He followers her around the whole city, watching her every move, without ever saying anything.
Hitchcock could have simply had someone in the movie explain all of these things and just straight up tell the audience what was happening, but his use of editing really distinguishes the scenes and helps to bring the audience into the movie without just telling us what's happening. It gives us a chance to feel like we're detectives or part of the movie figuring out what's happening, instead of just lazy observers.
