Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

POV editing in Rear Window restricts the viewer to Jeff's range of knowledge. The camera only shows what Jeff can see from his apartment window, and the viewer can only learn about the events in the film as Jeff discovers them. This limited perspective creates tension and uncertainty as the viewer, like Jeff, tries to solve the mystery of the murder.
