Order of Tittles in Opening

Tittle Sequences

The first image/ name we see is Warner Bros. Which

instantly tells the audience this is a high budget,

Hollywood motion picture.

The next text we see is: ’A STANLEY KUBRICK FILM’ This

gives us the name of the director and is the first thing we

see over the title sequence, suggesting he is one of the

most important names for the film.

The next two names to appear are of well known actors,

Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall.

Next we see the tittle: ‘THE SHINNING’ which is shown after

two names of actors and the name of the director,

suggesting this film is also important not only because o the

film but the people involved.

The next seven names are more actors perhaps with slightly

smaller parts, however still featured.

We then see the executive producers name, which says that

‘JAN HARLAN’ is an important name and had a big impact

on the film.

‘STEPHEN KING’ the writer of the novel also gets a credit,

however he is quite far behind the actors, director and

executive producer.

We see ‘THE PRODUCER CIRCLE COMPANY’ and some

smaller credits in smaller writing.

Next is two names: ‘STANLEY KUBRICK & DIANE

JOHNSON’ who wrote the screenplay.

Finally we see ‘STANLEY KUBRICK’ again for the third time

as the producer and director.
