1. Rear Window is considered a "purely cinematic film." It plays with notions of spectatorship, editing, and what is known commonly-known as "the gaze" (e.g., the way the director, almost certainly a man, employs the camera and its direction, particularly in its approach to women). What statements do think Hitchcock is making about the film-making process?

2. How does Hitchcock juxtapose the use of diegetic sound (the voices, music and noises we hear off-screen, not the orchestral soundtrack) and narrative point of view (what we see and how we see it)? Consider the film's setting, pacing and what we see and hear versus what we don't.
