Rear Window is a film about a photographer who lives in a block of flats and has a clear view of the majority of his neighbours houses and gardens.
He suspects that one of his neighbours is a murderer so he spys on him to see what has gone on.
The first scene is shot as one long pan. It pans from window to window showing all of his neighbours living their everyday lives. I quite like how this scene is framed and filmed. It's almost as if you are looking from L.B Jeffries point of view and you can see how nosey he actually is.
Throughout the whole film the only locations we see are L.B Jeffries flat - only his living room, front door and window - we are not taken anywhere else and also the exteriors of the neighbours flats - never more than the window shot or their gardens.
