Sound

The sound of thriller is ominous, it is used to create tension and in the opeining set the mood of the story, to underline context with narrative force. The opening of The Shining sets the mood of thriller, the images on screen estabilishing isolation and lonelieness, the sound permeates this beautiful landscape with dread, the powerful noise creating tension where their should be none. In the serene mountains, death and secrets lie, that is what the opening of The SHining estabilishes.
