This week's video essay and film analysis is a closer look into Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. We examine the five elements that Stanley Kubrick and all of his collaborators use. In particular we focus on his writing with co-writer Diane Johnson. The music composed by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind. The cinematography by John Alcott and the editing by Ray Lovejoy. We look at how all of these elements come together to form the best horror film of all time.
