The shining micro elements

Close up's
The shots rotate from showing you the man and the woman's faces; by doing this the audience has a clear view of the characters expressions and therefor can feel more involved with the scene. The close-up of Jack shows how psychotic and creepy he has become and is there to frighten the audience. The close up of the woman screaming and pleading helps the audience to see how terrified she is; as the scene is obviously frightening from the audiences perspective, the close ups of the woman help the audience to feel compassion towards the character and share her desperation.
The close up of Jack's hand when he tries to unlock the door builds tension and also makes the viewing of the woman cutting his hand much more exciting because you can see what is happening in detail. When the audience is watching Jack through the broken door frame this also adds to the scariness as it is also what the woman would be seeing. It also helps the audience to see what side they are on, if it was not already obvious, because they are being put in the position of the woman.

Mise-en-scene
In this clip of The Shining, the mise-en-scene is very clever; even when both characters are sort of in the same room, the camera never shows their faces together. This is because the whole time throughout the clip the camera focuses on the differnt characters point of view and so when you see Jack you know that that is what the woman would be seeing. By keeping the mise-en-scene very simple, only showing the characters, it helps the audience to focus more on the event that is taking place as opposed to becoming side-tracked at an important period in the film.

Establishing shot
The establishing shot in this clip is very fast but you can see that it is the house from the outside. This is very creepy because when you just see that you do not know what is going on inside the house; the shot erouses the saying "you never know what goes on behind closed doors" because the house just looks like it always has. The establishing shot does not actually set the scene in this clip because you do not know what is going to happen however you do know that something is going to happen inside the house.

Sound
The music in the clip is extremely eerie, it is very subtle so unless you listen for it you would not notice it was there. However, it really adds to the tension in clip and keeps the creepy theme of the film in place. The music actually just sounds like a horrible concotion of the wind outside and screams that get progressively louder as the scene continues and becomes even more terrifying. The music becomes slower and lower when the axe is making its appearance through the door to emphasise what is happening.
The sound is diagetic and just of the woman screaming and Jack speaking. This is another way of having no distractions for the audience.

Lighting
In most thrillers you would expect the lighting to be bleak however, the lighting in this clip is just like how you would expect the lighting in a bedroom and a bathroom to be; this helps everything seem much more realistic and relatable for the audience and because of this aspect, also makes the clip a lot more scary.

Character types
In this clip the characters are both very relatable for the audience which helps the film become more terrifying, the way that the characters are both dressed in normal clothes and, by a glance if you did not see what was going on, do look perfectly regular, makes the scene even more frightening because it emphasises the point that Jack has just gone crazy and so makes the audience think that anyone could be a murderer. As the "villain" of this film, if Jack were to have been dressed up in an outfit that would have made him look like a typical villain the scene may not have been quite so scary as it is the fact that he was just a normal person that is the most terrifying.
