In Alfred Hitchcockās The Birds (1963), a beautiful socialite Melanie Daniels (played by Tippi Hedren in her first film role) takes a trip from San Francisco to Bodega Bay in pursuit of Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor). Although Hitchcock preferred to film on a studio set, there are numerous location shots that highlight his love for San Francisco and the surrounding area. As a hobby, the California architect HervĆ© Attia produced a film short that revisits many of Hitchcockās locations for The Birds. Watch Attiaās short film and a clip of the attack on the children scene. What do you think of āfanā movies like Attiaās that deconstruct films and revisit locations?
Watch Attiaās film location video here.
