Film opening themes. - Listening and interpretation.

After listening to a sound track which can be used as a film opening, I had the feeling that it would be something dramatic but also with the hint of depression after an action has happened when the women starts singing. The ideas that created a short opening of a film came to mind as follow:

There is a masquerade ball happening but the camera was mostly focused on a couple in the middle. During this few second dance, the camera shot her falling down to the floor with an unexpected reason, this action that happens causes her husband to suddenly look around as the crowd would quickly fall to their knees trying to revive her again. When this husband looks up, a glimpse is caught of another masked man running out of the room in a hurry ignoring this fatal action. As the song continues further, I could imagine this all being a flash back for a man who sits on his own in a dark room, around him including his hand would be alcohol bottles resembling that he turned into an alcoholic due to this incident of his wife's death.

After I caught the glimpse of him being an 'alcoholic' I can imagine that when the music develops, him revealing his plans of revenge against the man as he would answer his phone quickly and grab a hammer laid close by him. This would lead into shots of him following close behind a man which is once again only seen briefly before he smashes him down with this hammer.

As the hammer is caught seen with blood, the body of the man who is seen unconscious  that is  revenged against is seen being dragged away quickly. The ending of this imagination of a film opening, I can imagine that I hear the victims husband as a close up of his eyes is shown saying; 'I spent eternity  hunting him... I spent the rest of my life causing him hell in return of my wife's death.'


Adagio for strings: 



In this second sound track that I listened too, I got the opposite emotion to the Donnie Darko end theme. This sound track created a quite upsetting and depressive emotion towards me. This music stayed the same through out which created me to think of the following film opening;

The first shot would be of someone leaving flowers upon a grave, a young female to be precise. As the few seconds of watching her slowly starting to cry, I quickly imagined the grave stone revealing the name and death before it would black out for another few seconds.

As the fade in would happen, I would imagine happy memories of this couple or family related members being shown as they went to places like the forest or the field. I could see the way they smiled and hanged off each others arms but also the way they would play around by pushing each other. The feeling from this did create me to feel like something was going to tumble and create this happy relationship to fall to pieces.

With all these quick cut ins of all the happy yet different memories being shown briefly, I imagined them both sitting at a table one day before one person would hand over a very detailed letter. The grief on both their faces would show as the music got higher in tone, while one grabbed the others hand and started to cry. Near the end, I could see the person who was troubled and passed the letter would quickly get up and run away as if to never be seen by the girl again. Even though the girl would follow, I could see in her position of the street which seemed bare as if they disappeared in the mist. This would  then follow back by the shot of the girl touching the grave stone as she rose. I would see her then walk away, looking up into the sky before I caught the shot from behind her as she ran away into the darkness. This was then followed by the black out.
