Low in the frame, Judy turns toward the
camera as her flashback begins |
The flashback introduces Judy's subjectivity into Vertigo, which is reinforced by shots from her point of view at key moments after this.

| At the climax in the bell tower, we see Scottie from Judy's point of view: "You shouldn't keep souvenirs of a killing. . . . You shouldn't have been that sentimental. . . . I loved you so, Madeleine." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Most of the pivotal scene in Scottie's apartment is shot either from his point of view or in shots that retain his sensibility. A key exception comes at the end, where Madeleine's point of view shows Scottie entering the bedroom to answer a phone call from Gavin Elster. Hitchcock does not, however, provide Madeleine the reaction shot that would normally be expected in point-of-view shooting. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
