I have researched the film opening of The Shining. This film has quite an unusual opening as it showcases an establishing shot of a car driving through the mountains. The reason why this film opening has a scary feel is due to the tense music playing in the background. This music makes the opening feel spooky with its low pitched notes and slow tempo. Even though the scenery for the opening is quite beautiful, the music gives an overall horrific atmosphere; we are able to understand that this is a horror film. This might be a good opening to experiment with because I think the opening of The Shining is still suitable for its genre. This opening makes me understand how important the soundtrack is to a horror film.
