The scene from the 1980 horror film “The Shining” in which Jack Torrance is chasing Danny in the hotel’s maze is shot using a Steadicam. A Steadicam combines the stabilized steady footage of a tripod with the fluid motion of a dolly shot and the flexibility of hand-held camera work. While smoothly following the operator’s broad movements, the Steadicam’s arm absorbs jerks, bumps, and shakes; while it’s almost frictionless gimbal gives precise control of the camera and framing. During this specific scene, Danny running for his life through the maze in the snow and Jack limping behind with an axe, the look of the maze is being shot using a Steadicam. The operator is filming the dark, snowy hedges that contain lights in order to show the audience the eeriness of where they are. This creates an atmosphere to make the scene more intense and creepy. A smooth filming of the maze is shown to eliminate some of the chaos that an unsteady camera would create, so that the audience is fully focusing on the location rather than the situation.
