Splitting up the earlier British phase and the later American phase of Hitchock's career shows the evolution of his style over time, from the greater amount of long shots that characterized the more theatrical staging of early cinema, to the move towards close ups and shot/reverse shot cutting which would eventually become the standard Hollywood grammar. Comparing with other directors of the same time period, in fact, it looks like Hitchcock might have been an early innovator in reverse shot editing, which I wasn't aware of.

Fritz Lang exhibits *very* different style curves in his German work versus his Hollywood work, even when you compare films from around the same time, such as his two German films in 1958 and his two American films in 1956. Furthermore, it's not a gradual change as in Hitchcock's case.
