In each and every film there is a plot element that is used to catch the views attention. This is known as the Mcguffin. The Mcguffin is also used to help drive the plot of the story. Here are some charecteristics of the Mcguffin:
* The Mcguffin could have no connection what so ever to the film.
* The Mcguffin could be anything from money to respect.
In the film Psycho the mcguffin was the 40,000 dollars in the envelope and in the film Birds the mcguffin was the reasoning behind why the birds attacked. Both theses mcguffin helped to lead the film on.
