'The Freelands' and 'The Book of Eli' Analysis

Both the opening scene in 'The Freelands', and the opening of 'The Book of Eli' show the main protagonist performing acts of survival.

On the one hand, 'The Book of Eli' opening utilises the tension-building non-diegetic sound that I have mentioned previously, which I really like. However, on the other hand, I quite like the slow and eirey music used in the opening of 'The Freelands' as it sets the depressing mood for the rest of the movie. A lot of emotion can be held and conveyed in and through music, and so I am now considering the use of slow-paced music in my opening scene.
