The Birds

In the opening scene of 'The Birds' all the credits are shown before the actual film begins. whilst the credits are appearing, in the back ground there is flying birds which creates a link with the title of the film.
in our thriller opening coursework task we will probably incoperate the credits within the film as we dont get a long time filming.

Mise En Scene
It is quite obvious that the film is set in America. Firstly one of the first things we see is a tram which is associated with cities in America. also there is a panning shot of the first character we see, the woman, and it passes a poster which says 'San Fransico'. it is also obvious that the movie was filmed a long time ago because of the costume and hair style of the main woman.

the imdb ratings show that 'The Birds' is most popular amongst males between 18-29.
