World of Story: The movie is set up to be reminiscent of a black and white silent film
showing a paper boy with breaking news about the grand opening of a new Boys & Girls
Club. The camera then zooms into the picture and it comes to life showing what took
place the day of the Grand Opening.
Tone of Story: In true silent film fashion, the credits come at the beginning of the
movie, so it starts out with the names of the actors/actresses and the creators and editors
of the movie. The first scene, after the credits shows the paper boy with a news flash and
a large picture of everyone at the Grand Opening standing in front of the Boys & Girls
Club. The camera zooms into the picture and shows the event as it took place. Message
boards are displayed between scenes to show what’s happening in the story. The actors
get the ribbon and stretch it out in front of the club, and the kid proudly cuts the ribbon
honoring the opening of the Boys & Girls Club. Then everyone starts to run and jump
around happily and let the fun begin with the new opening of the club.
Music: There will be three musical scores throughout the film.

Score 1: A classic themed circus song that is whimsical and high spirited,
accented with tubas and trombones.

Score 2: An old time tune including pianos.

