'The Shining' Trailer.

We are taking the idea of an evil and spiritual that influences our main character to the brink of insanity.

At the end of the film, Jack Nicholson turns from a mentally healthy man into a completely psychotic unstable man. The film shows his deterioration of his mental state and we want to assimilate this deterioration in our short film, through Sound and the different types of shots.
