My Idea for the opening Sequence of a Children's Film - Sam

My Storyboard for my Idea
Ideally, this would be done in iStop Motion

1. My first shot would be of the main character, possibly with some non-diegetic music in the background. The main character is an alien, and he would be standing next to a sign saying 'welcome to earth'. The music would fade, and a voiceover would start, explaining how the alien's spaceship crashed on earth and that he needs to get home. This would then transition with a fade. 

2. The next shot would contain diegetic ambient sounds, and would show the alien slowly peeking out from behind a tree. The shot would then cut to what the alien is looking at - a large, toy space rocket sitting in someone's garden. 

3. Then, the alien would attempt sneaking into the garden - only to come face to face with the girl who owns it. This scene would be quite comical, with both characters screaming in fear of each other. 

4. The alien would then explain what happened to him, and ask if he can use the rocket. The girl agrees and says that she'll help him to make it a working rocket - they shake hands.

5. The scene next would show the rocket on a workbench, with the alien holding a list and looking at it.

6. A close up of the list would show of what he needs, and some non-diegetic, uplifting music will start. The paper will scrunch up and then unfold and now be saying the title of the film, rolling on the credits.


I thought this would be a U rating, as there would be infrequent and not very threatening scenes of horror - for example being chased by an angry dog whilst trying to get something. The plot is also very simple and easy to understand - the alien will amuse children and make a more comic element in the film.
