There is no denying the fact that Alfred Hitchcock was brilliant behind a camera. This pictures angle shows how he let the viewer into his movies. The angle of this shot shows the window and window ledges as you would see it yourself, although the point of view is actually Jeffries. This is a common design throughout the film and really allows you as the viewer to connect with what is happening to the main character. It allows you to see the entire courtyard at the sametime instead of just one window to give a complete overview of the setting.

By using this sort angle and perception Hitchcock makes you feel like you are the one actually seeing the things that are happening outside that window and not just watching a movie. If they shot it from behind Jeffries where you would see him looking out the window it would have a completely different effect on the scene and how we watched the movie.

I would say it almost has an interactive style to it that puts you right in the middle of  drama that is happening outside that window. I like the way it adds to the suspense for the viewer and leaves us with our own point of view as we are voyering on the outside.
