Mark talks about the story of the film, the characters, and why he has continued to enjoy the film more and more, the more that he has watched it and learned more about it. Mark also explains why he believes "The Shining" is an example of exampliary cinematography. Mark also discusses why visual storytelling sometimes has an advantage over literary storytelling - mainly because of the necessary collaborations of both visual storytellers and sound storytellers that take place, which are essential and prevalent in films such as horror movies in the ways that they use certain cinematic techniques to build tension, mystery, and entrigue into a great scary movie's overall story.
