The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock

The film that I have been watching in Media Studies is “The Birds”, which was made and released in 1963. I think that the film was quite interesting with all the scenes that took place. It shows all the innocent people getting attacked by the birds especially the children from the school. Hitchcock's classic about a woman (Hedren) and mass bird attacks that follow her around isolated California community.  It is the apocalyptic story of a northern California coastal town filled with an assault of seemingly unexplained, random and chaotic attacks of ordinary birds - not birds of prey. Alfred tries to stop all this from happening and locks all the doors and window from the bird getting in the house.


A scene from 'The Birds' the attack

Everyone was sleeping in the house whilst Melanie heard the birds  gather in the attic as Melanie goes in she hears shattering noises. So she decides to go up the stairs to see what it was she knew that all the doors and window was locked so how can she still be hearing noises of birds. As she gets to the top of the stairs the noise becomes louder and louder. She turns the door handle and opens the door she takes a step in the room and she gets her torch and shines it in front of her and then....

She looked above and she saw the hole in he attic as she blinked all the birds started to come at her and attacked her. She could hear all the noise coming towards her as they cut her and made her bleed. As she struggles to get out of the room it was so long after that she fell on the floor. She was shouting for Alfred he came running up the stairs to rescue her and get her out of the room full of birds.

 Melanie walks in through the door she gets attacked by hundreds of birds.

The image above shows us Melanie been attacked by the birds and now she’s in shock.
