in today's lesson we watched the classic thriller, the Shinning, through out the film there is different thing that create a state of suspense, some of the biggest is the story that is told about the hotel, about the janitor that got "cabin fever" and killed his kids and wife, so from the start we know that something bad has happened in the hotel, and will happen again. from this we see jack go mad, and know he has turned mad before his wife, wendy and his son danny realize, another point of suspense is we know that he is going to kill or attempt to kill wendy and danny, so we are waiting and watching as he trys.
the use of tracking through the hotel corridors and the huge snowbound maze, this puts us with the character not knowing what is around the corner, and multiple times with help from the soundtrack there is something to make the audience jump, such as when we are tracking danny on his trike, ( for the third time and in the previous two there was nothing) all of a sudden we see the two murdered twins standing there a quick flash of them dead with blood all over the walls.
