Close up hand so we can clearly see its actions
There is a ring on the hand which is effortlessly playing with the grass as it walks past. Optimistic high saturated colours.
Wind instrument high pitched, violin, Tuba – Tense Minor key. Tuba is the drone. Nylon guitar transition.
Close up face look up to see his sullen expression
The colour goes a shade of blue which suggests negativity; the watcher feels a sense of sadness as the man’s face looks sadly up.
Flute, nylon stringed guitar and voice creates a calm sense and a didgeridoo enters as a drone for dramatic effect. Minor.
Establishing shot. Deep focus. It shows us quite clearly that tied to the horse is a headless man.
Colour remains blue and negative
Guitar is replaced with steel stringed guitar for more dramatic effect. Flute, voice, violin, bassoon, oboe, cello and chamber creates exciting and engaging music in a major sequence.
