Opening sequence ideas shotlist

We thought of some ideas for each of our opening sequences today, and what would appear in the sequence and also if possible, in order. My ideas were as follows:

• Slow calm music to establish mood.
• Shots of leaves, etc to establish weather and location.
  
• Establishing shot of war tanks to establish location, time and setting
• Shot of young girls house.
  
• Tanks become a silhouette (similar to the ipod advert)
  
• Close up of the front of the tank and the enscriptions (writing on the side) this writing becomes the first title.
• Dialogue (monologue) or text appears
  
• We see the back of the tank which is the second title, and the tank drives away.
• We get a close up of the man in the tank and establish he is the young girls father.
• We get a shot of the back of the tank and then a shot of the young girl left there.
• Silhouette of the girl growing up (done in after effects) maybe another title.
• The young girl's dad drops his hat, this is the next title.
• Dialogue "My childhood memories all involve conflict."
• Shot of puddle, new title appears.
• Dialogue "Every day my father leaves for work at the army. Every Day i miss him."
  
• Tanks returning, they fade out and more titles appear in old handwriting fonts.
• Dialogue "One day i knew something was wrong."
• Music becomes faster, shots of young girl's mum and dad arguing. perhaps silhouettes. Titles show.
  
• We then get a shot of something smashing, maybe plates, or glass or maybe there is an effect where you can get the screen of the camera to smash - which symbolizes the families feelings.
  
• Dialogue "My father was sent to Germany for Russian Aid"
• Shots of suitcases etc.
• Dialogue "I did not realize we were going, too."
• Russian Flag fades to German flag.
• Main title appears, It is written in Russian so could be changed to English as an effect so the audience understands the meaning.

Overall these are my thoughts about how the film opening sequence would progress. I may have to get free footage from a source as i obviously cannot film war tanks so this may be a problem. However i think i could easily get some footage from a reliable source and could use this is my opening sequence, I think creating it in after effects and final cut would be a better alternative for me than to try and film it.
