What kind of film student would I be if I didn't mention the mac daddy of all Thrillers?The Shining was directed by Stanley Kubrick and based off of a same-titled Stephen King novel.
Costumes:
No costumes are displayed during the opening sequence. All we see is a car driving down a winding country road.
Lighting:
Natural, sunny lighting. No use of additional equipment to create it artificially: one of the many perks of filming in America, maybe.
Titles/Credits:
Warner Bros emblem
Blue Arial font which pans upwards over the screen, as though the ending credits of a film are being reversed.
Camera Angles:
Smooth, continual tracking shot which follows the car, potentially accomplished by a drone or a helicopter.
Cuts:
Simple cuts which seamlessly transitions from one area of countryside to the next.
Technical Specs:
Aspect Ratio: 1.37 : 1
35mm
Sound:
Eerie music created on a keyboard, occasional hammerings of a symbol and a faint rustling which increases and decreases; also, the voices of others that sounds like ghosts wailing or red Indians chanting. This non-diegetic sound effectively adds to building a sense of unease in the reader.
