Vertigo was a very restricted film, most of it was seen in the 3rd person and had followed the 180-degree rule and uses continuity editing i.e. analytical and inter cutting editing. Most of it was edited in a medium camera shot with some close ups and long shots. These factors gave the film a nice flow. The only time the film was seen in the 1st person was in the following scenes: John Ferguson's dream sequence, John's reaction to his recreation of Madeleine, Madeleine and Judy's deaths, John's fear of heights, when John figured out what really had happened to Madeleine and when Judy experienced her flashbacks.

The sound effects and music play important roles in the film; music is present during the long car rides and every time John experiences his fear of heights the music places the viewer in suspense. Throughout the film the different sound effects and music capture the audience. An exampl...
