the shining opening

http://www.artofthetitle.com/ <------- link)  this film is the bassis for all modern horror films. it is one of the great classics and the titles are the most inportant bit. thats the bit that grabs people and gets them to watch the hole film. boring title means the audince will get up and leave. the title also tells us alot about whats going on in the story, in this title sequence it is just simpley a car driving thourgh the rockys. the director uses loads of long shots taken from a hellicopter to show how far away from civerlization the film is taking place. the titles also go on for longer than expected, again to show how far this car is going. the scenery is of grassy mountains and the car is a vw beatle. which would seem like its a pritty happy film. but the music is eary and creepy. this clashs makes the start confusing, and people get sceard when there confused. so this clash or happy and creepy puts the audince on edge. at the end the car is driving in to snowy sceanery. this temperture drop is another way of putting the audince on edge because sceary things normaly happen in the cold, or you get cold when your sceard.
