First film opening idea that came into my mind:

I will explain it per shot because it's more simple for me. I am sorry if it's all so chaotic but my head is exploding from abstract ideas that I don't know how to explain. :)

-Shot 1: it starts with a medium shot of me from the back with the cello also on my back, camera slowly tilting into the left side, I am standing my a bridge and it's windy.

-Shot 2: next is the presentation of the protagonist (me in this case) in a low angle, the camera slowly zooming in on me.

-Shot 3: starting with a ground level shot of me walking through the city and slowly zooming out to establish the place of action, presenting the protagonist initially in a happy mood.

-Shot 4: Protagonist playing the cello happy- in a long shot, camera goes left as a tracking shot from the character => which transitions into:

-Shot 5: it's cut with some hands throwing on a table near the character some music scores => meaning behind: a wave of work that is coming which is never ending. The characters face is turning now sad (meaning that because of work the effect is an upcoming wave of depression and desperation).

-Shot 6: the protagonist alone in a room starts drinking bottles and bottles of alcohol as a coping mechanism, in a medium, tracking shot slowly moving to the right.

-Shot 7: the protagonist has a mental breakdown, the whole scene starts being in slow motion, presents her throwing all music scores and the camera being in a high angle as the pages all fall over the character.

-Shot 8: the character throws the glasses and table, then she throws the cello bow and music stand.

-Shot 9: it cuts in the bathroom where on only one eye it's painted as a clown. (meaning behind= the clown paint represents the level of insanity that is being build up in the character. The more the face starts to have more clown paint, the more insane the character will become- represents chaos & insanity) . The character gets scared and sad by it.

-Shot 10: we have an establishing shot on a stage with the protagonist playing in a solo concert, the camera does a 360 around the character while playing. The clown paint "infected" her face more and it's now on only half of her face. A person behind her is putting one hand on the "infected" part of the face so that the public doesn't see.

-Shot 11: tracking shot of a train in movement, which is shortly cut to:

-Shot 12: the train stops in a train station where the protagonist is waiting. We have a knee level shot in slow motion as the character enters the train.

-Shot 13: in a Dutch angle we see the character's face in full clown makeup, looking rather scared as she enters the train fully dressed in concert clothes.

-Shot 14: The character now is clinically insane, with the cello in one hand and with the other hand she's spinning in slow motion on a vertical metal bar in the train.

-Shot 15: we have an eye level shot of the character and her cello, in fully clown makeup reaching the point of insanity and chaos, having a big big smile on her face with big manic eyes. The camera slowly zooms out and the music fades away.
