Research- The Shining

         One of the horror films that I have chosen is The Shining from 1980. The budget for this film was about $15 million dollars and had brought in about $44.4 million dollars at the box office just in the United States.

       The opening to this film is just ariel shots. The first ariel shot is moving along a river, then fades into another ariel shot that get closer to a light, yellow buggie. Throughout the two minutes of the opening scene, the camera follows this light, yellow buggie as it makes its way to a mansion in the snow capped mountains. When switching to different angles of ariel shots following the car, the shots dissolve into one another.

         The names showed at the beginning don't start util about minute into the movie, but the first thing to show up is the producer and then followed by the main actors. After those couple names comes the title of the film. Then the featured actors come followed by the executive producers, screenplay writers, director and then the novelist Stephen King who wrote the book.
