Hitchcock's The Birds

The clip we were looking at is the 'creepy scene in The Birds'.

There were 17 shots all together in this one scene, lasting only 1.28 seconds. For each shot the camera was positioned in a different place:

Shot 1: Tracking - the camera was following the woman as she walked up to the house.
Shot 2: Medium shot - it was a medium shot of the woman standing in front of the front door.
Shot 3: Match on action - The woman is seen entering the house on one side of the door, and is then shown on the other side once she had walked through the doorway.
Shot 4: A Medium Shot used to show the woman walking into the hall.
Shot 5: A Medium Shot where the camera is already in the room as she walks through the door.
Shot 6: A quick glimpse of the room and the damage that has been done to show that the house has been broken into, creates suspense.
Shot 7: A close up shot of the woman's face.
Shot 8: A Medium Shot similar to shot 6, once again showing the damage in the room the woman has just entered.
Shot 9: A Medium Shot of the woman's reaction to the state of the room.
Shot 10: A close up of a man's legs with blood all over them.
Shot 11: A Close up of the woman's face showing her reaction to the legs.
Shot 12: A High Angled shot of a dead man on the floor with no eyes.
Shot 13: A close up shot of the man showing more detail.
Shot 14: An Extreme Close up of the man's face showing his eye sockets as his eyes have been gauged out.
Shot 15: A Medium shot of the woman frantically making an exit.
Shot 16: A Long Shot/Tracking of the woman running out of the house.
Shot 17: Finally another long shot of the woman as she continues to run, and then a close up of a man who is waiting for her.

The clip itself involved an array of suspense, mystery and shock at the sight of the man at the end, it was a vile sight!
