The Shining Opening Sequence

The opening sequenxe of the shining starts of with an extreme long shot to show the audience/viewers where it is taken place. The shot shows nature in an empty space in order to represent the affect of isolation of having no one around. Combined with this camera shot there is non-diagetic music being played into the sequence. Using instuments usch as violins, guitards and piano. This music helps emphasise the loneliness through the hollow and echoes.
