Rear Window Analysis
In the beginning the camera pans around and allows you to see the setting which is a residence
area consisted of middle class people in an urban looking apartment. As the camera lifts around you could see the district looks compact and average, the first character is a man in is 40's/50's laying down and judging from his sweats and the thermometer you can tell the weather was really hot.
The camera continues to move and you see a couple sleeping outside their balconies and as the obvious states (they were sleeping at the opposite sides) their relationship might not be at the
smooth stage, now the camera pans to left you can see an old slightly over-weight guy who seems
to be going through a mid-life crisis (notice the alcohol- assuming it's absinth which is very strong and the beer belly) what supports this is when the radio came up announcing "are you feeling old? are you tired?".
What really caught my attention was after this we see a shot called "the male gaze" where it focuses on an attractive women who seems to be dancing around and clearly her shot was a lot longer than the man's. You can see how the camera slowly moves up and focuses on her appearance.
Back to the man sleeping in his living room the mise-en-scene tells me he's adventurous judging from his belongings lying around (cameras, newspaper and lots of books). The time should be around the
summer because he was still sweating a lot.
There was a part where people were coming out to look at the dead dog, all of them came and see
except for one room and I suspect it's the killer's room. Everyone simply stared and minded their
own business instead of caring.
As Grace walks in you can see her taking care of her husband who only seems to notice her
when she does things for him.
