The scene that I analyzed was from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining  is of Danny Torrence riding his Big Wheel down the halls of the Overlook hotel, to which he suddenly finds himself wound up in a haunting before his eyes. The scene unravels with an tracking shot of Danny on his big wheel, although the composition is an extreme long shot that eventually closes in to a medium close up as Danny reaches his stop. Once at the stop, the camera cuts to a close up of Danny's face, which is reacting to the apparition before him. Following, the editing of the scene follows a reverse action style from the point of view of Danny Torrence and the two young girls. Although, throughout the reverse action the composition of the girls begin with a long shot and closes in to a medium close up between each reverse action shot as it corresponds to the chants "Come play with us Danny. Forever. Forever...". Finally, the most interesting editing of the scene is the jump cut of the two young

      One day on my break at work I decided to escape my confinement in a large retail building on New York city’s most expensive avenue, 5th ave.

My name is Jason Gil I’m a New York born citizen that moved to Florida at a very young age, however once the recession hit in the mid 2000’s I wound up back in New York City to spend most of my childhood and future in. Although, the transition was difficult it exposed me to various types of people and culture that one can not find anywhere else, which helps define a vision for me in my projects. My passion for film stems from a young age to watching various genres of films and if they are well-crafted their ability to evoke a certain response from the audience. This idea has always intrigued me as to what can make the human mind react in a certain way and what elements are being exposed to allow this response. As a young age I was always fascinated by paintings from Salvador Dalí, poetry, video games and other mediums that allow creative expression and let the mind wander. I find the art of film making a beautiful medium that could implement various art forms such as poetry, pai
