Bourne isn't sure where The Professor is within the field so he uses the report of the shotgun's gunfire to get the birds to fly around over The Professor's head, tracking their movements to reveal the position of his adversary, which is why the professor recklessly takes a run for the treeline.
Apparently this sequence originally ended with Bourne quickly ambushing and killing the Professor after intercepting him as both flank around the barn after the explosion, killing him instantly, without permission from the studio and only 5 minutes of film available, Doug Liman went out with the actors and the stunt crew and shot this sequence himself, feeling he missed out on an important emotional beat with The Professor and Bourne connecting over their shared experiences and loneliness of being Treadstone assassins.
#movies#film#cinema#the bourne identity#matt damon#clive owen#doug liman#His approach and indie-style shooting methods annoyed the studio and producers#which is why he wasn't brought back for the sequels but his films since then have proved he's nothing but a great and bankable director#but Paul Greengrass and Dan Bradley's iconic style on the sequels helped reinvent the action genre and had everyone copying their style#I believe Bourne Identity's 2nd unit stunt director worked on Casino Royale#while Dan Bradley Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne Supremacy worked on Quantum of Solace#While people claim those bond films ripped Bourne off they were directed by the same 2nd unit#Anyways the story of the insanity of filming Bourne Identity is very intriguing#there's a few videos of the ordeal on youtube and I recommend people check em out
