Bird Of Prey is a film that thrives off the restrictions I was placed in during production. Filmed while adhering to COVID-19 restrictions, I used unconventional camera positions, learned how to use music composing software and also created a screenplay that minimised the potential of having more than one performer in the shooting area. The results of combatting these heavy restrictions are replicated within the film, one which feels tight and claustrophobic.
