1. Describe some of the commonalities of the directors.
When watching the films, the cinematography shows that the directors, Hitchcock and Weir, had some things in common. It seems as if Hitchcock was admired by Weir. In class, we talked about the shower scenes in Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and Weir's Homesdale (1970) and how similar they are.

2. Describe some of the commonalities of the films.
- Fake Skies - Cristof and Jeffries seen as "the creator", similar to Kinkade's paintings
- Lisa Fremont (Rear Window) and Meryl Burbank (Truman Show) each do a bit of "advertising" in their respective films. Lisa models for Jeffries and Meryl does commercials.
- Cristof and Jeffries are each directors - Cristof directs the Truman show and all of the actors and cameras, while Jeffries's cameras are the windows of his neighbors.
3. Discuss voyeurism.
In voyeurism the audience watches the film, the characters sometimes watch each other, and the camera records everything.
