This site looks interesting. Rebecca was Hitchcock's first American film I believe and he presented the cinematic equivalence of a gothic novel, building up the suspense throughout.

Hope this helps a little.

it's a ghost film, about someone - the title role, in fact - we never see. So its aim is to make us constantly think of someone who's not there; the sort of bright, hard-edged cinematography that is the norm these days would not be appropriate. Hitchcock, as you probably know, didn't do his own filming (he started out writing intertitles on silent movies) but storyboarded his films in great detail before beginning filming.
