The Birds
This film was Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and was published in 1963. The genre of the film is a Horror/Thriller.
Alfred Hitchcock's external threat is from nature in this film. Usually in Hitchcock's films there is no where to hide. Including The Birds as in this film Bodega Bay is no where to hide
The start of the film shows the only red herring in the film. The red herring that appears is when the audience thinks that the genre of the film would be a romance. However a red herring occurs and the genre is twisted into a horror/thriller.
In this scene of The Birds Hitchcock has used many effective camera angles. This scene is a very horrifying scene. Hitchcock has used extreme close up scenes of the woman. He then moves the scene to a point of view to show what she is looking at. He then goes back to the close up scene which shows a reaction shot.
Hitchcock uses no sound within this scene, he does this to add tension.
As the man is shown with his eyes pecked out, Hitchcock uses the three jump cut scene. This zooms into the man three times which adds horror and suspense.

Also Alfred Hitchcock has used many different camera angles in other scenes. In this scene he used high and low camera angles. He uses high camera angles to show a birds eye view. This also can highlight the point of view of the birds. As it is a high camera angle looking down on the children it shows that the children are weak whereas the birds can do what they want and look strong. Hitchcock uses a low camera angle to show that the birds are strong and that nothing can over power them.
