Name Of Film: The Shining
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Date of Film Release: 23rd May 1980
Country Where Made: USA/UK
Awards & Nominations:
2 Nominations – Saturn & Razzie Awards (1981)
1 Win – Saturn Award (1981)
Genre: Horror-Thriller
My opinion: The Shining is presented as a thriller in an entirely different style. The sudden snapshots of scenery and characters create a frightening effect, and the main characters descent into madness is shown very well and creates a lot of suspense.
User Ratings & Appeal To Males & Females: Overall, The Shining was voted 8.5 out of 10 by both males and females. Both male and female under 18 shared average votes of 9 out of 10, yet lower than the average vote of 8.6 out of 10 (males 18-29) and 8.5 out of 10 (females 18-29). This shows that the film has been aimed at a younger target audience.

I appreciate you've started posting notes on thriller films but much more is required.
Also planning needs to be posted once finalised.
Overall mark for research into the thriller genre reflects mainly basic understanding. Too little detailed analysis of aspects of mise-en-scene place this component of coursework at Level 2: 11/20
