## Scenes used

 Copyright
 JUTRZNIA – EWANGELIA
1- Zoom over Wendy’s face while reading the word «murder» - imprecise point while Jack Torrance smashes the door

The piece starts from its beginning and stops before the voices in the music are heard (0’10” ca). The impact on the spectator made by perfectly synchronizing the musical explosion with the zoom and Wendy’s scream is exceptional.
2- Jack hits Dick Hallorann – pan to the Overlook’s exterior

The piece starts from its beginning and proceeds without interruptions until the dog-man raises his head (1’20” ca). Then it starts again from the beginning in sync with the zoom over the two ghosts (the dog-man and his friend) and proceeds uninterruptedly until fading out (0’30” ca), during the pan of the Overlook’s outside. On occasion the piece is overlapped with Polymorphia. Notice how Wendy’s steps are often in sync with the music. This piece is undoubtedly highly effective when associated with the zooms, the editing cuts and the actors’ movements.
3- Wendy sees Hallorann’s corpse – Jack says to Danny Torrance «I’m right behind you!»

The piece starts once again from its beginning and goes on up to 0’18” ca, as soon as the swish pan has terminated. Here the piece restarts from the beginning and proceeds uninterruptedly until the cut after Jack’s line «I’m right behind you!». In the USA version, immediately after the line, there is a sequence in which Wendy is running inside the Overlook when it suddenly becomes dark and she sees the guests’ skeletons in the lobby. For this reason “Ewangelia” proceeds for a few seconds further, stopping at 1’20” ca, and after Wendy’s scream we can hear the Kanon.
JUTRZNIA – KANON PASCHY, PIESNI 8
1- Wendy hits Jack with the bat – a moment before the dissolve

We can hear the piece twice, from 0’02” to 0’08”.
2- A moment before Jack pokes his head through the bathroom door – imprecise point while Hallorann is driving

The piece is heard from 0’02” to 0’08”, and then once again from 0’02” to 0’12” ca, when it starts fading out in a few instants.
3- Cut to the blood fall – shot of Danny hiding behind a bush

The piece starts exactly on the cut (0’02”) and proceeds uninterruptedly until 0’56”. A moment afterwards, the listening restarts from 0’58” ca to 1’04”. At the beginning of the sequence, the piece is overlapped with the *Kanon*, then afterwards with De Natura Sonoris No.2.
