Opening scene-The Shining 1980 (3)

the opening scene starts with a long shot where we are on the water and we look at the lake and the mountains and also theirreflections in the water

We are still at the same location but we move forward and we can now see a little island and the environment is very quiet and this makes it even more mysterious

We are still at the same location, we passed the island and now we can still see mountains and a lake

This screenshot shows us how the location with the lake fades out and now we can see a long road which is surrounded by a forest on both sides

Now we can see the forest much clearer and this road is like a prison, if you are in it you can't leave it

On this picture we still have the long grey road but this time it is just surrounded by grass and mountains, which could mean that it delivered itself, it's out of the moods so now it is free

On this shot the road still continues and now it's surrounded by rocks and a lake, the fact that the road is continuing on every picture is because maybe there is a way out by following it

At the time of 01:08 minutes the Film Director is showed and his name is written in clear blue and is in the middle of the image

A yellow car on the right side of the road has been associated with the Actors anme at the time of 01:13 minutes

01:19 minutes, the Actresses name is also written in blue like all the other names which will or have appear on the screen

The background which has been chosen to show the title of the film at the time of 01:24 minutes is an image which have already seen at the beginning, the lake, the mountains and the woods are the main things we can see

The name of the Featuring Actor is showed at the time of 01:29 minutes and on the picture we can  see the yellow car and again the wood an the road

The name of this actor at the time of 01:34 minutes is associated with exactly the same background and exactly the same elemts like the one before

01:40 minutes this time the Actors name is in combination with a car driing in a tunnel but the rest is still the same, which could mean that the whole story takes place at the same place because like in the opening scene it doesn't change

The name of this actor at the time of 01:44 minutes is in combination with a long shot, like all the other shots where we can also see the same like on the other screenshots

Again the name of the Actor has been in combination with a long shot in the background where we see exactly the same as on all the other shots

 01:55 minutes, the Actresses name is also in this picture associated with the same background as in all the long shot of the opening scene from shining

This long shot and the next five all have the same background. On this one at the time of 02:01 minutes the name of the Actor is coming up on the screen

02:06: Executive Producer

02:11: Based upon the novel by

02:17: Producer in association with

02:21: Screenplay by

Snow is in this shot something new which is coming and we can associate this with the fact that snow could play an imporant part in the movie. At the time of 02:27 minutes the Producers and Directors name are coming up on the screen

On this long shot we can see a mountain covered by some snow and the sky is blue and clear

The last shot shows us for the first time in this opening scene a big house which could be a hotel and also maybe the place where the film takes place
