The Shining Opening Sequence
Remembering that this thriller is an old classic (which you can tell from the tacky title sequence) this opening is very simple. It follows the journey of a car from an ariel view as it travels on a winding road which seemingly leads nowhere. The car is made to look small and meek in it's iscolated and big empty surrounding forrest and empty road. Despite it being sunny and calm, the audience automatically know this is creepy and are alerted to the being of something not quite right, i believe this is mostly prompted by the soundtrack. We follow the driver as they travel up a mountain to the creepiest hotel i have seen since Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
