Shot by shot ideas

To start off i have picked idea 2 (Family), many reasons behind this, i believe the story may appeal to events that could happen in real life, its also quite an interesting take to show how people cope with being alone, or losing everyone they loved. I am thinking about having an establishing shot of the road he live on, the shot will look up into the sky and slowly drop down to reveal the road lined with houses both sides. Then it will either be a shot straight to the main character, walking down his drive then opening his door. or  i am considering having the POV shot of a person on his bike riding down the road, the usual opening to a family movie, maybe a paper round boy. until it gets the this house, then it will follow the paper that was thrown, it hits the main character, he just stops, looks at it emotionless. Bends down slowly, picks it up and carries on walking down his drive, then back to POV shot opening the door, then a shot showing him come through the door from the other side, as this is happening various shots highlighting all of the rooms in the house, an average family home, toys, fridge magnets, children's bedrooms and what appears to be the parents bedroom. Then a shot to the man standing in the hall way, motionless, with a bag around his shoulder that slowly falls down his arm and on to the floor making a loud thud. Made louder than usual as the house is so quiet, a POV shot to show what he is looking at reveals what seems to be the only picture that has been taken care off, it consists of five people, looks to be like his family or people that are close to himThen a flash back, the man but when he was younger, around 16-18. Walking down the road back to his house, looking down with every step, with hardly any confidence, the camera then looks up suddenly to see what appears to be sirens flashing, blue and white lights, with the well known police sirens mixed with the ambulance sirens echoing into the streets. Quick shots of what appears to be body bags, and police tape, officers in uniform. Quick shots of the boy running to his house, POV shot showing the desperation in his face as he frantically runs to see what is happening. As he finally reaches the drive, he's met with a police officer, he seems to be rather shocked, the boy explains how it is his house, the policeman's face drops, "Im sorry to tell you.. that your family are gone, I am so sorry" The boy drops to his knees, curls his back and looks blankly at the floor, crying slowly as the realisation that his family are gone becomes apparent.
