Let’s look at a hypothetical opening theme Of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerthe new Amazon Prime Video series of which the first two episodes are available, made in the style of A Place in the Sunthe all-Italian soap opera that has been on the air for many years on Rai Tre, starting from promotional material.
More precisely, LoreSka, the author, has imagined it as the theme song of a new soap: A Post in Gondorevidently inspired by the large amount of sentimental intrigues present in the first two episodes of the show based on some notes by Tolkien.
As you can see, the video simply shows a succession of characters on a black background, with the theme song of the RAI soap in the background. Simple and of great impact, little to add.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has set the viewership record for Amazon Prime Video. If you are interested in learning more, you can read our review of the first two episodes.
