Continutous shots Birdman

Over spring break I saw Birdman (2014) which was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. I found the method in which Alejandro shot the movie was very interesting and unique. Each shot was very long and the cuts between shots were hard to recognize. This gave the film the feeling as if it was just one continuous shot. The camera also seemed to be mainly hand-held as it moved with the characters. It is an interesting filming method and definitely made the film feel less film-like and more realistic in a sense.
