Hints and Tips.

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

Now...I'm usually afraid of Horror films, but since studying film studies in college, I have learnt a few tricks..to calm us weak hearted people down! I watched The Shining for the first time last night and truly found it terrifying! But watching it a second time, I began to pick up hints on how it works. Whenever you see Jack look into a mirror, you can tell something is going to happen, because a mirror is a split between the body and the soul. You'll be able to see it happen in the bedroom and in the dining room. Also I know that this is obvious, but it's great how the music builds up on the enigma and creates a strong tension between audience and character. When Danny is scooting round on his little tri-cycle and the music becomes more extreme, prepare yourselves because around one of these turnings something is going to happen! Anyway, I'm about to get back to the film, just thought I'd leave a little something for you film addicts! Milly x.x.x
