Limbo - Elysium

It starts off with a character staring up at the sky, it is a first person sequence as the camera slowly pans up to reveal the tree canopy as leaves gracefully and peacefully fall off and descend to the ground. suddenly the sky leaves and trees begin to flicker similar to a monitor, the outdoors environment quickly shifts between the foliage and the ceiling of an indoor room. Now the scene has changed into a room environment. A voice over begins with soft and gentle piano music in the background (Andare), the voice over begins talking about an object such as a drug or the equivalent being able to give the subject enhanced abilities such as perception and awareness, as a result you become more conscious of the physical world and so a hallucination occurs in which the subject is transported into a an apparent serene environment in which the advantages could be used to ones advantage, such as possibly the slowing down of time, being able to hear peoples thoughts and so one, essentially in this part of the monologue the audience is introduced to this drug and only its benefits. then suddenly the music begins to fade and the lighting darken as the scene changes to the main character facing a mirror and slowly raising his head to be revealed by the camera, blood seems to be dripping from his eyes and nose as the monologue turns darker in turn. An eerie buzzing/booming sound can be heard as the camera zooms in towards the mirror. The character slowly closes his eyes and then the music stops as the scene fades to black, an eerie ambient noise of leaves rustling and the wind blowing can be heard as it one again switches to a Point of View shot as the camera rises and shows an outside environment, yet unlike the previous scene it is dark and more sinister. The camera cuts to a mid-close shot and begins to circle round the character followed by reverse zoom as the camera pulls away leaving the character in the distance and revealing more of the scenery, once zoomed back far enough what appears to be a person or monster can be seen hiding behind a tree... this scene fades to black and the movies title appears.
