Rear Window
You may have seen the movie “The Rear Window” and you may have not. If you have seen the movie, you would know that it was all filmed from one apartment and the camera never left. Also it wasn’t boring. How did he do that, you are probably wondering. Here are three of the things Alfred Hitchcock did to accomplish this challenge.
First, he had his main character injured. The main character, L.B. Jefferies, had a broken leg so he couldn’t leave his house. He had to have some fun, so he would sit by the rear window, hence the name of the movie, and watched the funny things his neighbors did.
Second, Hitchcock had two more characters which were the girlfriend and the lady who kept an eye on Jeff. They both helped Jeff solve the murder of his neighbors wife. They did the stuff that involved leaving the apartment. There was also a detective, but he wasn’t much of a help.
Lastly he had a great story line about a man that sees a murder out of his rear window when he was only watching his neighbors and learning what they really are like and their personalities. It was a mix of mystery, romance, and drama. Also what can really happen in reality along with fiction.
Alfred Hitchcock is pretty talented if he can make a good movie and the whole movie is shot from one room. Also now you know how he pulled it off, and if you haven’t seen this movie yet, you should probably check it out from your local movie rental.
