Picture this:
 Two hands are interacting with the sunlight. (Camera shots emphasizing on the shadows these interactions create) 
It goes dark.
A nostalgic piano melody plays.
Close ups and extreme close ups of different objects and there cast shadows are presented.
(Within the shadows mentioned above will be the opening credits.)

A pan up to the light source of the shadow, followed with a graphic match of the sun.
A pan down from head to toe, toe to shadow. (Simulating the direction of sun rays and emphasizing the importance of shadows by ending the movement there.)
A series of shots of the individual with his/her shadow present.
The piano music picks up.

A montage of point of view shots from the individual's shadow. (Giving the shadow it's own quasi ominous presence. Also, placing the audience in the position of the shadow since each individual is what is represented by their shadow. In other words, we are---- at least for the purpose of this film ---driven by the doings of our unconscious mind which manifest in our shadow. This shot allows the audience to integrate with the presence of the shadow. )

Medium shots of the individual and their shadow similar to the ones seen before, but now with an increasingly mysterious piano music underlying it.
Suddenly the shadow dramatically separates from the individual.
The music stops. The screen abruptly goes black.
