Pre-Production - Plan your sequence

Plan to achieve the shots/ idea

My idea for this production was to create a short film about certain war
memories regarding Malta. I was basically inspired by the movie Furry.
The story will start as a normal day, showing a time-lapse of a sunrise.
Suddenly the sounds of sirens are being hear from a distance and the
people will start seeing the aeroplanes flying over Malta, attacking it by
dropping bombs and buildings collapsing
The green screen will show a person transmitting a news broadcast
explaining what is happening, with a frightened expression onto his face.
The final part, I will use info graphics which will be edited later into the
scene as being part of the war concept. This will be done by making a
black background and using some special effects to create light passing
through it.
