Analyzing a Sequence from 'Shadow'

I'm back, after a long absence, with another of my shot-by-shot analyses. This time it's of a sequence from one of my all-time favorite films, Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. Hitchcock was very painstaking when it came to matters of form, which makes his work especially suitable for exercises of this kind. To those of you who elect to read it: I hope you it find it interesting—perhaps even illuminating.
