The Birds
At the start of the film we can clearly see the directors name Alfred Hitchcock. The bird sounds and the video of the birds gets the audience ready for something unordinary change in the birds making them want to know what it is and hot it happens. it would show the audience of what to expect. The bird sounds gets louder and louder as the actors names starts to come to an end. The video at the beginning is all black crows which don’t have a good image to the audience. This is because the colour black is significant because it symbolises death and bad news and the crows are not known as good creatures. In the opening scene we can see that is set in a busy city. The female character walks through the busy roads and there are the bird noises overcoming the train and car noises. The female character looks up and there is a wide angle of a big group of birds flying around. This makes the birds seem important and it makes the audience want to know whats going on.We can see that she was shocked about this because she walks in to a pet shop and she has a conversation about it. The outside noises stop when she gets in but there are the noises of the birds inside the pet shop. This is a good really scene to have the film recorded at and I think Hitchock did this to create more tension. We know from the films name that its based on birds and in all pet shops there are birds. After the conversation between her and the assistant the assistant goes in and she pretends to be the assistant to a man. We can see that she is lying because she doesn’t know what she is saying and the man knows that she’s not the assistant as well. The camera pans along with them along the cages so the audience can see each of there steps. During there conversation a bird escapes and they have trouble of catching it. The camera once again pans along with the bird to show were its going and there is tilts when they are trying to catch the bird. During the starting ten minutes there is nothing unordinary apart from the birds outside. The audience is waiting to be scared and there is tension and suspense built when they are waiting for something terrifying to happen. Tention is always found in horror films it is like an convention as it is in most films. Waiting for something to happen is an ordianry thring in Thriller Films.
