There are many good angles and shots in the rear window movie but the one that stood out to me was the angle that was captured when Lars was coming to attack Jeffries. I found a good image to put in here but unfortunately I couldn’t get it to format in this post correctly. The way the film works in the angle for him looking for defend himself was priceless, the way he scrambles to find a solution and sees his camera flash. He uses this to his advantage and defends himself as best he can. This defense is using his surroundings to protect his life.
The way that Jeffries is such a great problem solver is also another reason as to why he is such a great reporter and photographer. He is willing to go to the most difficult or spots to be able to get his story and picture and that is why he maintained his injury, doing to most for the best angle. I think that this is why the angles and shots were so important in the movie. It was because the perfect picture and the perfect setting were so important to Jeffries. He had another scene of great importance when Lars sees Jeffries in the moment looking to take photo evidence of the murder and him, he then roll his wheelchair into the shade and protection of darkness so that the fact that he was stalking wouldn’t be so evident but he was too late. This scene leads up tot he best shots and angles and that is the flash going off in his defense. Though it didn’t get him out of complete trouble it gave him enough time so that the authorities were able to come to his aid.
