Dead Bird

 Dead Bird Extract

Dead Bird is a short film I cut in 2006 directed by Brek Taylor & Clare Tinsley for tailormade productions.

It's an experimental piece with a simple story showing how four characters (a fisherman, a dog, a girl & her grandmother) react to the discovery of a dead bird.

The film was presented in three different ways; once as individual character studies, once as a splitscreen edit showing all characters stories at the same time & once as a more conventional short mixing the stories together.

This extract is the dog's story from the individual edit which I feel is the most successful of the three. For a look that evokes a dog's POV I used the 'Russian Kamera' Final Cut Pro filter from River Rock Studios.

The music/ sound design is by Scanner.
