For the first of our clips, my group has chosen to do 'The Shining' which starts straight away with music - a trumpet - playing at the very beginning of the clip. At about 1 minute and 8 seconds into the title sequence, the writing with 'A Stanley Kubrick Film' comes up in bright blue capitals which would show that he is a well known director. 4 seconds later (1:12), it comes up with 'Jack Nicholson' which, again, is in large, bright blue coloured capitals, this shows that he is a top billing, well known actor. It also comes up at 1:18 with the name 'Shelley Duvall' as she would become one of the main characters in the film along with Jack Nicholson. After having the title sequence on for 1 minute 25 seconds, it comes up with 'The Shining' which was in large writing as it was the title of the film. 3 seconds later, it shows on the screen 'featuring... Danny Lloyd', this suggest that they aren't top billing actors but still are main characters within the film. After this, at 1:35 it comes up with 'Scatman Crothers', 1:40 'Barry Nelson', 1:44 'Philip Stone', 1:51 'Joe Turkel', 1:55 'Anne Jackson', 2:00 'Tony Burton' and finally, 2:06 'Jan Hartland'. As these characters are all coming up after the word 'featuring' has been shown, it tells you that these people may not all the significant characters within the film as they were not shown at the beginning of the clip with the other two main characters. Also throughout the whole title sequence, it has very sincere music all the way through which could make you feel quite uncomfortable throughout the opening sequence.
