Rear Window

When watching the opening sequence of rear window, it gave the impression that it would be a cheerful yet intense thriller. There were quite a few elements which made the opening sequence interesting.

The Sound: jazz/classical music that was quite high pitched and up beat was used throughout to create suspicion.

The Editing: the titles faded in and out to create mystery within the background, Hitchcock purposely had titles by the window of the house to also create suspense. Important information is revealed, for example; the characters, setting, plot and location. 

The camera: When using the camera, there was a variety of shots used like close-ups, extreme long shot and still shots.  Props were also used to make it more interesting. 

Miso-en-scene:  during the title sequence, it showed us where abouts the film would be set - an apartment block. Very stereo typical. There could have been a photographer from the use of props. e.g. photos+ camera.
