Sound track opening inspiration




We were instructed to listen to this piece of music and then imagine what images come in our head for a film opening. The music was both sad and dramatic so I got the image of a teenager standing at a grave and the camera switches between the teenage girls eyes and the tombstone, zooming in on the tomb stone with each cut, and zooming in on the person on each cut, focusing more and more on their eyes each time. Then there is an extreme close up of the eyes and bright light shines and it goes into a flashback. There are various shots, with the 2 peoples clothes changing each time, the teenager is being yelled at by her drunk father. In these shots you also see the girls dad raising his hand at her indicating that he beats her but before the crash comes down on her it switches to the next shot. On the last shot the girl is in the living room being shouted at (however all dialogue is muted so technically it could be miming) and you see him getting more and more in her face and then you see the girl reach slowly for the knife thats behind her as she knows that a beating is coming and she cant take it anymore, the dialogue sound comes in and all you hear alongside the music is her father saying "You worthless piece of shit" and then she grabs the knife and with a really angry face you see her stab him and then a bright light appears and freezes the frame and then the bright light re appears in the teenagers eyes and the flashback is over. There is then a long shot of the teenager at the grave, there is then an establishing shot taken behind the tombstone and you see the teenager walking away, this shot is also wide and that is the opening scene I imagined.





With the second soundtrack i found the music quite depressing so I imagined a wife leaving her husband and she is shouting as she is gathering her things in the bedroom, however it is mimed so all you can hear is the music, the husband tries to grab her hand but she yanks it away, zips up her suitcase and runs downstairs , this shot taken from bottom of the stairs so you can see her leaving him. he then chases down the stairs and all that is left in the room is his chair that he sat in, everything else has been taken by her and removed. She shakes her head as they both stand in the door way and he she has tears in her eyes, over the music all you hear is an "I love you and I will always love you, I just don't like you anymore" She then walks out the door and it switches to the husbands eyes and there is flashback of him carrying her into the house. It then switches back as the door finally shuts. There is then a flashback of them playfully painting a room together, it then flashes to normal time and there is an extreme close up of the husbands mouth taking a swig from a whisky bottle. There is then a flashback of the husband and wife laying in bed together. There is then a close up of a lot of empty bottles showing the amount he drunk, there is the a flashback to a doctors room and the doctor writes miscarriage on a piece of paper which is an extreme close up and then the camera lifts to the wife crying on the hospital bed with the husband holding her. The flashback is then over and the woman is walking back through the door in different clothing and more winter clothing, indicating it has been a long time since she has left. There is a long shot of her and then there is a long shot of her husband who is laying still in the chair and a bottle is smashed on the floor which lays under his hung hand, the wife rushes over to the body which she realises is dead and it is an over the shoulder shot of the dead man meaning you can see his wife from his perespecting. She is crouched down and beside her you can see the ghost of her husband who is staring at his wife with tears in his eyes, the camera slowly zooms in on the ghost indicating that the film is going to be about the ghost.
