On the 15th December in the lesson we watch and had to analyse six clips. We watched 'The Shinning', 'What lies beneath', '28 days later', 'Arlington road' and 'Collateral'.

I decided to analyse the Shinning because there are many elements that create a Thrilling feeling. When the clip starts, we see a little boy riding on a bike. This goes on for quite a long time. The lightening in this sequence is very dim and dull like which give an uneasy feel. The audience are situated behind the boy down at his level, this builds suspence as we are left right behind him and we are following him everywhere he goes. We turn the corners after he does and so we are unawer of what might happen to him or what he might see as he turns. Tension is created with the music, this warns us as the audience that something is going to happen. As the boy turns the final corner, he stops at room 237. The camera then drops to his level and we see how he looks at the dorr. As he gets up and goes closer to the room the music starts to build up again and the tension also builds up. When he goes to open the door, as the audience we will be unable to see what is inside the room if he opens it because we are to the side andcannot see. As he turns the door knob there is a quick flash of two little girs. This makes the audience jump. The music could be the reason why we jump, because when we wached it again without the music we didnt feel that tension. After the boys sees this, he quickly jumps back onto his bike and continues to ride off as fast as possible.
