For De Palma, his trademarks of using split screens and having long takes (where the camera doesn't cut to another shot for a really long extended period of time as it moves through the set at least once in almost every movie) stand out the most to me. Guess I never noticed the large staircase thing.

If you go to IMDB.com and look up a director and click on the "Show More" link next to "Mini Biography" and scroll down, there's often a Trademark section that lists trademark shots along with other things that the director uses often in movies (i.e. music, certain actors often appearing, etc.)
