1. The Shining
Withinthe filmof the shiningthere isavast amountof close upsthe scene itself useswide screen
shotsin orderto show the surroundings of the scene. Thiscreatesthe effecttowardsthe audience
that there issomethingwrong. There isalsoause of juxtaposition inordertocreate a sense of
Shock for example whenJackTerrance findsoutthathe isseeingthings, thisismake the audience
feel uncomfortable aboutthe factthathe isturninginsane andthisalsocreatessuspense. Also
withinthe clipthere are a quite a lotbreaks inthe 180 degree rule 3 timesthishasbeen usedin
orderto show Jack Terrance’sconfusion towards hisownidentity. Thisisunconventional asit
createsdiscomforttowards the audience. Thisalsogivesthe audience aclue towhat thenhappens
as the filmprogresses. Withthe use of swappingpositions itcancreate a sense of confusion towards
the characters, itwill alsocause the audience discomfortasitwill make themevenquestion what
jack Terrance istryingto talk about. Aswiththistechnique asitshows differentsidesitwould
immediately suggesttothe audience thathe isthe same person. One otheraspectof the clipisthe
scenery the wallsare redand white, thislinksinwiththe costume colours andthiscouldsymbolise
deathand insanity towards the characters. There isalsoa slow cuttingrate in the filmthishasbeen
usedinorderto buildsuspense towards the charactersanditmakesthe audience feel
uncomfortable. Thismakesthe audience questionwhatisgoingthroughthe charactersmind. There
are alsoa lot of close shotsinorder to indicate tothe audience the charactersemotions especially
whenyoulook at the character Jack Terrance who isconfused whenDelbertGrady tellshimhe’s
beenthe caretakerthe whole time. Thiswhere thereare some Jumpcutswhichswapssides soit
makesitlook like Jackis talkingtohimself andDalbertGrady isn’tactually there. One otheraspect
of the filmyounotice isthatas soon as Dalbertmentions hisname jacklooksathishands funny by
twitchingthem, thiswould suggestthathe isturninginsane thishappens at0.42. Shortly afterthis
he has a look in the mirrorto check if Dalbertisin the reflection andhisreactionwould suggestthat
he isn’tinthe reflection atall thishappens at0.53 seconds. One otheraspectwithregardstothe
whole pointof thisscene wastoshow that Jack was infact dreamingaboutwhathe saw inthe
paperand it wasactually himthat wasin the article. Thiswouldalsomake the audience aware of
whenJackis goinginsane. One otheraspectyounotice at the endof the clipisDalbertGrady
