'The Birds'

After watching Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds' ,1963, I have decided that I am not going to use music. I believe, music would not fit with the filming that I have produced. Within 'The Birds', even though its a horror Hitchcock does not use any music throughout the film. From my perspective I feel that this makes the film more realistic and believable, as if you were stabbed, or abused in reality, music would not suddenly appear over the top of the action. Also it makes the audience feel nervous, as music indicates when something is about to happen and builds suspense. Whereas, no music makes the audience not know when the 'murder' or 'scary part' will occur.

The opening of my film is a dream which is why its shot in black and white and saturated to create the effect. Also the distorted shots of the trees, pigeons and the barn represent the randomness and lack of continuity within a dream.
