What I thought about Kiwi
The opening scene for Kiwi (after the yellow title), shows a flightless animated bird I'm particularly interested in the camera shots in this scene, starting with a camera shot as if the camera was on the ground, sowing the bird's legs and partly its beak. The music starts out with a very bouncy feel, and the bird is designed to look very cute and loveable, through the big eyes, the way he moves and struggles with what he's doing tumbling over himself. This also represents the bird as helpless, as if the fact he has no wings makes the bird disabled. Dispite this, the bird is determined with his task. At one point a tree is shown at the centre of the screen, with sky in the background as always (daytime, contrasts with yellow bird, shows height). The bird runs in from the left and runs some rope or wire around the tree and leaps through it to tie a knot and lands on the floor. This shows us how clever this bird really is and doesn't mind hurting himself (landing on the floor) to fulfill is dream of flying.
