title sequence analysis - The shining.

Today we've looked at the opening title sequence to the movie, the shining. There is an establishing shot which shows the location of the scene. It then cuts to the car going on a jouney. There is a long shot duration during the scene. It does not skip any of the journey, it shows isolation. We dont ever see the characters in the car. There is creepy non diegetic sound, which shows that the movie is going to be scary. Juxtoposition is used with the  music of the scene and the scenary. The scenary is beautiful whereas the music in the scene is vey creepy. The credits are large which and in a blue color which switches my attention to the credits. There is a birds eye shot on the car. The camera is handheld and not focussed. 

There are sounds of people screeching or shouting, which adds to the effect of making the sequence seem creepy. 

There are some other cars in the scene but they are going the opposite way which shows the isolation of the scene. The scene ends with car arriving at the destination, which is a hotel. Its looks wierd. Its brown. When the scene gets to the hotel another non diegetic scream sound is played, which indicates that there is something srange about the hotel.
