Concrete Jungle explores the Seagulls and Pigeons who call Melbourne’s CBD home, and the negative impact Victorian’s have had on their welfare.

The Impact Documentary focus on the narration of Wren Hartley who outlines the beauty of our two largest birdlife in Melbourne’s CBD, Pigeons and Seagulls. Hartley explains how the State Library is one of the few green spaces where birds can search for food safe from traffic and busy streets. Then shared is some of the ways humans negatively impact the birdlife in the state library, such as feeding them human food in which can make the birds incredibly sick. Hartley then puts the audience in the perspective of a Seagull or Pigeons to help sympathises with these small vertebrate animals.

What I got out of making this documentary was learning how to promote an animal activist camping through filmmaking. I found it interesting designing the impact goals over the semester, I was able to engage in current campaigns and used those as inspiration to form our own.
