14. Film Analysis: Hitchcock’s Rear Window
Opening Scene (2:30 minutes): What do you notice? What literary elements do you see presented? What do you expect the film to be about?
Notes (next slide)
As you watch, consider the following questions:
What film techniques do you see being used in the film? To what effect?
How does Hitchcock tell the story? What is unique about his method of narrative?

15. Opening Scene: Rear Window
The opening sequence is a classic example of the use of visual elements to convey a complex narrative (rather than the use of dialogue).
In this sequence we are introduced to the central character, his career, personality and predicament and also his current preoccupation: other people's lives. This referencing of voyeurism also resonates with us, the audience - we too are complicit in the watching. It asks whether the Gaze is an inherently detached or guilt-ridden phenomenon (or both); it also questions the extent of our responsibility to what the eye reveals.
Another important dynamic is the relationship between freedom and seperateness: will marriage mean a perpetual broken leg for L. B. Jeffries or will the relationship be a creative and liberating one (it is his fiancee that risks her life to find evidence - a wedding ring! - of a suspected murder).

16. Film Analysis: Hitchcock’s Rear Window
Questions to think about (on your own paper):
How is voyeurism a thematic concept in the film?
Consider Hitchcock’s limited use of the camera. Is it a help or a hindrance?
Why has the film been constructed in this way?
Why does this shot cut to the next? (editing)
How does this help build the narrative?
Why is a particular shot framed in a particular way?
How is sound and/or music used?

17. Stop and Think…
Consider the range of characters Jeff espies from his window. Try to remember as many as you can. What do they have in common, what do they represent, and what is their connection to Jeff and Lisa?
