SHOT 1
The opening shot is a medium close up of the male protagonist from behind. Since he is wearing headphones this connotes that he is listening to some sort of music/making music on a computer in front of him. His face is not shown to give a sense of narrative enigma.





...
SHOT 2
You can denote that this is an extreme close up shot of a DJ software that the male protagonist is looking at on the computer screen. He is changing the pitch/amp length here. 

...
SHOT 3These first few shots connote that the film is going to be about the male protagonist becoming a DJ or his life as a DJ. This is because in these early opening shots, it is clear that he is only a bedroom DJ who is not famous yet. You can denote that there is marijuana, a pot of pills, a notebook and a pair of headphones in the corner connoting the that he is in the class E (student) and that he is a stereotypical young adult with no academic aspirations but instead wanting to just get into the music industry.

SHOT 4
Another extreme close up shot of the DJ software on the computer screen. Protagonist is adjusting yet another thing on the software (changing shape of frequency wave).
