RESEARCH - Conventions of Thriller Openings

THE SHINING

Birds Eye:
Emphasises 'Bird of prey' for Jack's character
Ominous Music: 
Sets the film up for its genre + plot
Scenery:
Contrasts the peaceful scenery with the disturbance driving through it,
mirrors plot.




Opening Title:
Blue text contrasts against the autumnl/winter colours
Emphasises the age the film was made, not very modern
No Special FX
