The Shining- title sequence

The opening shot of this is of a very large landscape, you can see a car moving along the road. The high angle of this shot allows the audience to see around the whole of the moving car. This is a simliar effect that we have decided to use in our opeing credits. The other shots are of pans that follow the car along the landscape. This is also another angle we are going to use in our title sequence. The music throughout this opening sequence is non-diagetic. The music that plays is a continuous piece that creates an eerie moment for this. Then as the music progressesit then sound like people wailing out, this too creates a very spooky moment, which tells the audience this is going to be a horror film. I think that music is one of the key points to make right, to create a very good horror film.
