The Opening scene uses the song "put on your Sunday clothes". It is used to let the viewers absorb the emotion of the music. It is very effective as the techniques of contrast is being used. Between the normal Earth and the ruined Earth that we see in this scene. The line from the song "there's lots of worlds out there" is very effective as well because it puts you in a point of view where you can feel the line and will be hopeful of transforming the ruined earth back to normal, which the movie is really all about... Reviving our planet.
The opening scene also uses the sound of "blowing wind at the near end of the scene to help convey the idea of emptiness and loneliness, of the scene. It also helps viewers to notice that the scene uses contrast between the ruined earth.
Good start: can you describe the song in more detail? Who is it by? What instruments are used? Are there lyrics? What are they? Do they add meaning? Why or why not? How does the sound build contrast? What emotion is the director trying to evoke in the viewers?
