Rear Window


     One of the biggest aspects of this film was the different camera angles that were used. These are some if not the most impactful aspects in the film since there is not much you can really do with staying in an apartment looking through a window. The shots that are used in the film bring out a unique factor and brings a special kind of suspense that is brough into the movie very well.

    The first shot and most important one to the film is the first person perspective shot. This shot comes from the eyes of the character being portrayed, which most of the time is Jeffries. This shot is one that gives a different level of emersion that most others could not give since it is emulating what Jefferies is able to see and experience from the confinement of his wheelchair. The other view is from Thorwald's perspective when he is getting flashed by the camera which allows the audience to experience what the flash of the camera is doing to his eyes.

    The other shots are looking in at Jefferies showing what the other characters in the movie are able to see. These shots aren't used as much as the other mentioned. Although, they are definitely needed since it gives a view of what Thorwald is able to see at certain points throughout the movie. The different camera angles that are used throughout the movie gave a different type of emersion that made the movie seem quite slow but that is what Jefferies was experiencing while trying to figure out what was going on. The camera angles put this together in a fashionable way that truly worked.
