This is a film called The Shining

- As we can see from watching this video of The Shining it has very eerie music, having a mixture of low pitched sounds and constant droning which gives the viewer a strange creepy out feeling. The use of a string instrument throughout the opening gives the scene a dramatic feel and adds to the intimidating feel of the scene. By the composer using a echo it adds to the dramatization of the scene. The composer also uses some distorted sounds and some subjective noise to make the whole scene more grand and intimidating.

- The use of the lake at the start of the scene adds to the mystery of the scene, and provides the viewer with much discomfort and anguish, because it is an isolated lake, and people get the fear of death and drowning. By then cutting to the singular car on the long and bendy road, this yet again put's anxiety into the viewer's mind. By the use of a long and bendy road it symbolizes that everything is not straight and simple and there are likely to be "unexpected turns" throughout the film. The use of this road represents the narrative of the film also, showing that this film is not just going to be a simple and straight forward film
