Analysis of Alfred Hitchcocks Rear Window
I just finished watching Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window in my mass media class. ... He’s very bored and resorts to spying on people through his window. ... We learned about three kinds of shots that Hitchcock used in this film, none of which I knew too much about before viewing Rear Window. ... Jeffries, “Jeff”, looks out the window. ... Almost all, if not all, of the characters in Rear Window are described at some point in terms of their relationship with the opposite sex or their marital status. ... It was interesting that we, the audience, view so much of Rear Window from the voyeur’s eyes. Our gaze becomes like that of Jeff’s, and no matter what the circumstances, we are going to continue looking through the window, just as Jeff does. ... Rear Window takes place in New York City…where else?
