Creative works are organized into a specific genre. Genre can be succinctly defined as a set of conventions and expectations that audiences will become accustomed to over time. Conventions within a genre will limit and shape the meaning perceived by the audience. Over time, as contexts change, values ​​also change; even if the conventions remain the same. Some composers make their lyrics more appealing when they challenge the original conventions of a genre and thus attract a wider audience. In this way, composers are able to present their audiences with new themes and values ​​related to their social contexts. Crime fiction has often adapted these processes and become a genre in its own right with intriguing plots that feed the audience's curious nature. English director Alfred Hitchcock (also known as “The Master of Suspense”) was an expert at creating the desired amount of suspense within a crime film. He was able to transfer the values ​​of his context to the big screen and subvert traditional conventions. Hitchcock's film "Rear Window" (1954) shows a perfect example of how the conventions of the detective novel can be appropriated to still involve the traditional characteristics of crime. Through its use of exquisite cinematic techniques and immense detail, interviewees are given the thrill they expect from the genre. The golden age of detective fiction during the 1920s-1940s introduced subgenres, one of them being the intuitionist genre, which is unconventionally depicted in the film "Rear Window". The protagonist LB Jeffries (Jeff) is placed in a closed environment made comfortable by the cast around his broken leg. Here, rescuers can see the physical representation of a welcoming environment shown by Hitchcock as opposed to the traditional welcoming and isolated harbor of an English manor... middle of the paper... waving at us. Although voyeurism is seen as wrong, Jeff committed it to show the lengths to which some individuals would go during the McCarthy era to ensure that their neighbors were not communists. A convention of attention to ordinary details such as the close-up of the thermometer (showing a high temperature) in the opening scene serves as a purpose for Jeff to begin his recreation by looking at the window. Lisa reminds Jeff that "...sitting around looking out the window to kill time is one thing, but doing it the way you are with binoculars and wild opinions about every little thing you see is - it's sick!" His warning states what people in their context were doing out of political paranoia. By being harsh, the film gave Hitchcock the freedom to bend convention and make a serious comment that suspicious neighbors might actually be guilty of horrible crimes..
