OTHERS:
Colours are particularly prominent in 2001 and Eyes Wide Shut; specifically the colour red. In 2001, red represents death, anger, and birth; it is seen at the sunrise of the dawn of man; red meat; red cockpits on the spaceships; HAL's red eye; red suit Bowman wears. In Eyes Wide Shut, red represents sex, temptation, and the Devil; it is seen at the Sonata Cafe; the cab driver is wearing a red shirt; Bill is taken to the mansion in a red car; house is decorated in red; orgy leader is dressed in red; red flowers in hotel; Milich's daughter leaves a blood-red room; Domino's front doors are red; Zeigler's pool table is red. Blue presents ideas such as danger and fear; when Bill imagines Alice and the Naval Officer there is a blue filter.

A Clockwork Orange shows techniques including, zooming out, sped up footage, slow motion, and POV. The opening shot of Alex zooms out to reveal the moloko bar. When Alex takes home two girls from the music shop, the film is sped up. Walking past the river, Alex hits Georgie and Dim; this is in slow mo, as well as when Dim hits Alex with a bottle of moloko outside the health farm. We always see things from Alex's POV which is aided by voice over, but there is also a POV when he jumps out of the window, the camera falls with him,

In The Shining, there is also patterns and power framing. Patterns include the Native American designs on rugs and carpets; the design looks much like a maze (in the shot were Danny is sitting on the carpet playing with his trains, he is framed in the maze-like design foreshadowing the end of the film. Power framing can be seen when Jack and Grady are in the bathroom; we can't see Grady's face, only Jack's which gives him more power, then we see Grady's face and he begins to dominate.
