this can be very explanatory for the readers‚ I feel that a film’s ability to allow its viewer to actually see‚ and not attempt to visualize the character in one’s head‚ is a clear benefit.

One of the most crucial elements of Rear Window‚ and a very clever tactic used by Hitchcock‚ is realism. In other words‚ most if not all things that happen in this film‚ and everything that every character feels and emotes‚ is entirely plausible in real life - perhaps not witnessing a murder‚ but something equally shocking‚ such as spousal abuse is entirely possible. Because of this there is at least one thing or person that everybody can identify with‚ either with Jeff‚ Lisa‚ the neighbours‚ or

Alfred Hitchcock’s Shadow of a Doubt is no less than a perfect example of film noir. Low-key lighting‚ dramatic shadow patterning‚ and camera angles are all expertly used to foreshadow and portray the emotions and psyche of the characters.
