Birds

The trailer shows a sense of disarray as the film is saying one bird is lovely however the title of the film is "the birds" replicating that its not one or two birds but several thousands of birds that attack innocent people however the reason to which is unknown. this theory is linked in with Roman Barthe theory of an enigma code therefore the film is left with an open end as we do not even know if they will survive but also why the birds are attacking the mcguffin of the film is the love bird which was delivered by the lady from the shop in New York to the man however that doesn't become apparent it just sets the story up. 

However this is not a typical Alfred Hitchcock film as the external threat is not that of a person or people but it's from nature. there is also no where to hide therefore the birds can attack them at any time leaving suspense among everyone as the attacks become more and more vicious but also every time there becomes more and more birds.

before this scene below the dramatic irony is presented as we know the birds are gathering however they do not as a result this leads to them being attacked where if they left as they was gathering they wouldn't of got attacked by as many birds as they did.

this clip shows despair and abysmal anxiety from the birds attacking plus the velocity of which this is occurring creates high tension  also showing frequent action this scene is key as there is many key aspects amongst this scene alone for example this sets a typical film for Hitchcock as there is no where to go they are running to no where however they were just in a more safer place therefore now they're vulnerable. Furthermore the wind is a non diegetic sound as it's been added in because the birds are attacking that quick and verociously the wind is being created.

In Schoolyard scene the underlying score of the innocent child’s song is in contrast to the evil in nature. Tippi Hendren’s character is only guilty of taking nature for granted. In “The Birds” scene outside the café – the high camera angle is like the gaze of a pitiless God who cannot be bothered to intervene.

Towards the end of the film a scene was filmed via The scene where Tippi Hedren is ravaged by birds near the end of the movie took a week to Film. The birds were attached to her clothes by long nylon threads so they could not get away.

Some of the shots within the film are filmed in great detail therefore have taken several elements of different angles for shots to compose the one scene all together an example of this is the final shot has 32 separately filmed elements.
