One of the seminal horror films and most terrifying movie-going experiences of our time is Alfred Hitchcock\u2019s 1963 \u201cThe Birds\u201d.\u00a0 And what better time to talk about some of its \u201ctricks\u201d and \u201ctreats\u201d than Halloween.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

Loosely based on the 1952 story \u201cThe Birds\u201d by Daphne du Maurier, the film screenplay was written by Evan Hunter.\u00a0 Known for his ability to create tension, not to mention having worked with Hitchcock on the television anthology \u201cAlfred Hitchcock Presents\u201d, Hunter was charged with developing new characters and more intricate plot.\u00a0 Starting with the horrific ideology of unexplained widespread violent bird attacks, together Hitchcock and Hunter delved into underlying psychological complexities addressing guilty secrets of the townspeople, and then allowing the imagination to ponder if the bird attacks are a form of punishment.\u00a0 Hitchcock even drew from real life instances of documented bird \u201cattacks\u201d in August 1961 that had homes attacked during the night and come morning, found the town of Capitola, California littered with dead bird carcasses.<\/p>\n

As Evan Hunter noted in his 1997 autobiography, \u201cMe and Hitch\u201d, with the horror elements firmly implanted in their minds, he suggested to Hitchcock the film pull some elements from the screwball comedy genre and then evolve into horror, suspense and ultimately, \u201cstark terror\u201d.\u00a0 Hitchcock loved the idea because of the suspense that would be created as the audience lay in wait, uncertain when the birds would attack.<\/p>\n

While Du Maurier\u2019s story was set at an English village on the sea, Hitchcock chose the sleepy little fishing town of Bodega Bay, California for his adaptation and made the most of every location, street, shop and townsperson it offered, imbuing \u201cThe Birds\u201d, as with all of his films, chilling reality.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The film debut of Tippi Hedren, and her first time working with Hitchcock, \u201cThe Birds\u201d has become the most identifiable role of her career.\u00a0 \u201cThe Birds\u201d also stars Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette and Veronica Cartwright.\u00a0 But then there are \u201cThe Birds\u201d themselves, marking the first time animals were portrayed by a director on screen with a collective intelligence working together in unison.\u00a0 While we know this is true of many species in nature, to see it so terrifyingly portrayed on the big screen is a testament to Hitchcock and his meld of live birds, trained wild birds, mechanical birds, wild birds on strings and wires and overlay technical enhancements.\u00a0 After six months of principal shooting, it still took almost three years to complete the film before its 1963 release.<\/p>\n

So, how about a few fun \u201cDid You Know\u201d facts about \u201cThe Birds\u201d. . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 The ASPCA was\u00a0 on set the entire film shoot and an aviary was established to treat injured birds.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 This is the only Hitchcock film to not have the \u201cThe End\u201d title card. A calculated move on his part, Hitchcock wanted the audience to feel that the terror would continue.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 There was an alternate ending to the film that Hitchcock wanted to shoot but was talked out of it by screenwriter Evan Hunter.\u00a0 Hitchcock originally wanted the ending to include a town on fire, another bird attack as Melanie, Mitch, Lydia and Cathy try to get to the car to leave, and then a final wide panoramic shot of the Golden Gate Bridge covered in birds.\u00a0 Hunter told Hitchcock it would take at least a month to film just this shot.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 As it is, the final shot of the film is composed of three panels, matte paintings and multiple film layers, i.e., 32 separate exposures, leading Hitchcock himself to call this \u201cthe most difficult single shot I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d\u00a0 Complex is an understatement as the scene combined live birds, animated birds, mechanical birds and the car driving toward the matte painting backdrop.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Cinematographer was Robert Burks.\u00a0 Hitchcock\u2019s favorite lenser, Burks worked with Hitchcock on twelve of Hitchcock\u2019s films.\u00a0 Starting with \u201cStrangers On A Train\u201d and ending with \u201cMarnie\u201d, the only Hitchcock film Burks missed was \u201cPsycho.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 One may think that Tippi Hedren is \u201cacting\u201d in the key attic scene.\u00a0 This was no acting.\u00a0 This was true terror.\u00a0\u00a0 Assured by Hitchcock personally that mechanical birds were being used in the attic, on the first take she walked into an attic filled with live birds which were flying loose and also be flung at her by prop men.\u00a0 Over the course of this five day shoot for this one scene, live gulls, ravens and crows were thrown at Hedren until she was ultimately gouged on her cheek near her eye at which point she was hospitalized for a week.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Birds were hooked onto Tippi Hedren’s suit with rubber bands looped through fabric and wrapped around actual birds.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Early in \u201cThe Birds\u201d as Melanie is crossing the bay alone in the little skiff heading back to town, the seagull that attacks her was hooked to a wire while blood plungers were hidden in Hedren\u2019s hair.\u00a0 When the gull was let go down the wire and hits her head, a prop man would hit the plunger of blood.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 While filming the house attack scenes, the house was netted to keep the birds contained.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Hammers with fake bird heads were used to hammer and peck thru the wood doors to give the effect the birds were breaking through.<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0 In an attempt to keep the birds from flying off roofs and gutters, production designer Robert Boyle tried putting magnets on the birds\u2019 claws to hold them onto metal gutters.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t work.\u00a0 The birds only flipped upside down when they tried to fly.<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0\u00a0 371 “trick shots”, as Hitchcock called them, were used in \u201cThe Birds\u201d.<\/p>\n

13.\u00a0 Again, seeking authenticity and palpable terror, Hitchcock had cinematographer Robert Burks and his camera operators tie meat to cameras to get the seagulls to fly at the camera lens in attack mode.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

14.\u00a0 Ray Berwick was head bird trainer on \u201cThe Birds\u201d.\u00a0 Berwick later reflected on the experience and admitted that the birds used in the film could never be released or kept as pets because they were trained to attack.<\/p>\n

15.\u00a0 There are no scenes in the film of anyone covered in bird droppings.<\/p>\n

16.\u00a0 Sound plays a key role in \u201cThe Birds\u201d embracing the idea that silence is terrifying and deafening and in much of the film represents the silent calm before the storm of attack.<\/p>\n

17.\u00a0 Bird attacks are typically preceded by dialogue addressing loneliness or fear of loneliness or with a visual of a single character shot.<\/p>\n

18.\u00a0 Double entendres and tongue-in-cheek black humor is peppered throughout the script with lines like, \u201cFried chicken and mashed potatoes!\u201d in the background of the diner while the foreground characters are talking about the attacks and just killing all the birds.\u00a0 Another example is the ordering of Bloody Marys as a precursor to the bloodshed coming in an imminent attack.<\/p>\n

19.\u00a0 Much of the production design and lensing style of \u201cThe Birds\u201d with the ultimate attack on the Brenner house can be seen as a visual influence in M. Knight Shyamalan\u2019s \u201cSigns\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

20.\u00a0 Foregoing traditional score, Hitchcock used synthesized birdcage & flapping bird noises designed as a score by Oskar Sala and Remi Gassmann utilizing Sala\u2019s electroacoustic Mixtur-Trautonium synthesizer.<\/p>\n

21.\u00a0 Working with editor George Tomasini, Hitchcock made extensive use of the long, extended pause, creating a chilling ambience as a prelude to when the next attacks would occur.<\/p>\n

22.\u00a0 A technical hallmark of \u201cThe Birds\u201d is the lensing of the bird attacks.\u00a0 Using a sodium vapor or \u201cyellow screen\u201d process developed by Ub Iwerks at Walt Disney Studios, the process involves a screen lit with narrow-spectrum sodium vapor lights.\u00a0 A scene is filmed concurrently on two different cameras, one using regular film stock, the other a special stock emulsion sensitive only to the sodium vapor wavelength.\u00a0 Meld them together and the effect is seamless and in many cases, more precise and visually authentic than green screen today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
