Sequence 1 Intro

A slow transition to what looks like the sunrise.  We see a silhouette of a giant round dome rising from the horizon.  Suddenly the alarm bell rings we realized it is a giant alarm clock.    The camera (First person POV)  is moving forward holding a ball as he heads through a  child's playground.   We see backpacks which represent kids, running around and playing.  The backpacks represent the characters in the movie.   As we are going through the playground, we see backpacks playing on swings, slides, seesaw, jungle gym and monkey bars.  It is surreal and at the same time very familiar.

The First Person POV camera moves forward as we pass kids playing catch.  The camera stops too, but they run off camera playing catch.  The camera moves forward again, and we see a kid standing facing away from the camera.   The camera/character stops to get the kids attention.   The kid turns and greets our main character.   The ball that we are holding is thrown to the kid.  We cut to a third person of our main character playing catch with the kid.

As they are playing catch, a bigger kid comes into the scene and notice the kid's playing.   He stops and gesture at our main character to throw him the ball.   He does, but the bully does not throw it back.  Our characters try to get it back from the bully.   The other kid is just standing looking at our victim as he is trying to get his ball back.   Other children stop playing and watch as our victim getting teased.  Suddenly the bully throws the ball super hard at our victim, and he falls to the ground.   The kids laugh at our victim as he falls.
