EXT. PLEASENT COUNTRY TOWN. DAYLIGHT.
The establishing shots quickly fade from one to another,
zooming in upon an orphanage within a tranquil village.
Were taken inside via another fade, where multiple
children orphans are scattered around a dormitory style
room. We hear the NARRATOR/ANNOUNCER speaking over the
footage.
NARRATOR
Just look at these poor orphans,
enduring their deplorable existence.
A CHILD moves into centre frame, and the camera focuses on
them.
NARRATOR
Well hey there, Timmy. Do you know what
would make this orphanage better?
CHILD
...My parents?...
NARRATOR
Ha, ha, ha... Hahaha... No... No,
Timmy. The answer is...

The shot zooms out a little, and theres a faint pop as a
dinosaur appears in the centre of the orphanage. It blinks
and stands there, awkwardly, whilst every child in the room
stares at it, transfixed, horrified. The narrators voice
suddenly becomes much more aggressive.
NARRATOR
Dinosaurs!

The dinosaur suddenly roars, and the children start running
and screaming. The shot cuts out to a title screen, with
the words appearing in synchronisation to the narrators
voice
NARRATOR
Everythings better with dinosaurs!
Including...

The title screen cuts to a simple black background with
white text, displaying the word Aquariums!.

INT. AQUARIUM. DAYLIGHT.

Shot of a large display fish tank with some human
silhouettes before it. Some fish and a squid swim across
the frame, before a stegosaurus slowly floats by in a
slightly unstable manner, blinking and flipping in a slow
comedic way.

displaying the word Ice Cream Vans!
NARRATOR
Ice Cream Vans!

EXT. STREET. DAYLIGHT.

We see a street with an ice cream van parked upon it. A
single boy is purchasing an ice cream with a side-on angle,
so we cant see who is within. A scaly taloned paw reaches
out from the serving hatch and hands the child an ice
cream. He beams happily and goes to lick it. A large
dinosaur head then reaches out of the van and snaps the ice
cream up, viciously. The boy hands his head, dejectedly
BOY
Awww...

Theres a beat, and then the dinosaurs head reappears,
snapping up the child and devouring him.

Courthouses!

INT. Court House. DAYLIGHT.


A bustling courthouse appears in a wide shot. The judges
stand is currently unoccupied. Several guards stand around
the room, one of which is guarding the door which the judge
traditionally enters through. A court official walks before
the crowd and clears his throat.

COURT OFFICIAL
All rise. The honourable judge
brachiosaur presiding.

The audience and jury stands. We cut to a close shot of the
judges door as the guard reaches a hand out, turns the
knob and pulls it open. Moments later, the camera quickly
zooms out to a large wide shot of the entire courtroom once
again, just as an enormous brachiosaur dinosaur smashes
through the back wall, wearing a judges wig. It roars
loudly. People scream, before we cut back to another black
title card.

displaying the word Murder Mysteries!
NARRATOR
Murder Mysteries!

INT. MANSION. NIGHT.

Lightning Strikes, illuminating a dark room with long
dining table and a fireplace crackling away, casting a
ghostly light upon its inhabitants. We see parodies of
Poirot and Hastings standing over a chewed up body. Poirot
is already talking when we enter the scene.
POIROT
And... Im afraid it gives me great
displeasure to announce that the
murderer... is in this very room.
We snap to five close ups of five separate individuals,
reacting in horror. Cut to a wide shot of the five
spectators as another flash of lightning and boom of
thunder hit the scene The five upper class suspects all
gasp, simultaneously. The frame then expands slightly,
revealing there is also a dinosaur standing beside them
all, who gives a delayed, stupid gasp after the others have
all finished theirs and set an example.
After a few moments one of the rich-looking men stands to
his feet and slams his hands onto the table
MURDERER
(With cruel conviction) I did it!

We cut to a close up of the dinosaur reacting in a
terrified and overdramatic way, flailing his little arms.
Frame then goes black.

NARRATOR
End Credits!

Heavy rock music plays. Over the end credits, dinosaurs are
sat, staring at the camera, possibly interacting with the
credit tiles themselves by biting them or knocking them
over.
