The Shining

The first noticeable factor is the score which is produced by a trumpet like instrument, the use of this creates an eerie atmosphere which quickly illustrates the type of film this is. Furthermore the camera angle is moving in one direction with a high-speed shot as a canted angle enters, the use of this is to create a disturbed feeling along with the score. also the moving camera overtakes the car creating a sense of unease. this feeling is reinforced with use of the electronic score. Another factor is the use of an extremely barren land with one prop which is the car, this makes the audience feel very isolated.
Multiple landscapes are shown meaning that the car is travelling a long distance meaning they will be in an unfamiliar area. The opening credits or title sequence enters from the bottom of the screen which is unusual and adds to the bizarre atmosphere. As the title of the film is presented the score suddenly sounds more demented, this also occurs as a deserted building is presented. A title is shown to clarify what is happening.
