THE LABORATORY FADES IN AND STARTS TO PAN AROUND TO THE LEFT, WHILE THE TITLES APPEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. CONTINUES TO PAN UNTIL THE TIME MACHINE, WHICH WE WILL BE LOOKING UP AT SLIGHTLY TO GIVE A SENSE OF HOW BIG IT IS, IS IN THE CENTER AND A GLOW APPEARS AROUND IT, WHILE ANGELIC MUSIC PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND, BEFORE THE CAMERA PANS OUT SLIGHTLY TO SHOW IT ALL. A MAN JUMPS INTO THE SHOT AND WAVES HIS HANDS ABOUT ENTHUSIASTICALLY. GENERAL BUBBLING AND MACHINERY NOISES CAN BE HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND.

MAN

'Ha, ha, at last my time machine is complete! Now I can kill all of those horrible dinosaurs!'

FLASHBACK: THE BACKGROUND FADES AROUND HIM AS HE APPEARS SAD, AND ARMS COME INTO SHOT AND STARTS POKING HIM WITH TOY DINOSAURS.

HIS LAB COAT PASSES ACROSS THE SCREEN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IN AN EXTREME CLOSE UP AND REVEALS THE TIME MACHINE ON A DIFFERENT ANGLE.

THE DOOR IS ALREADY OPEN AND THE MAN CLIMBS INSIDE, AS THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES BEHIND HIM. THE CAMERA STARTS TO PAN AROUND THE TIME MACHINE, BLURRING AWAY THE BACKGROUND AND ITSELF AND SPINNING FASTER UNTIL IT ALL FADES TO WHITE. THERE IS ALSO SMOKE AND SPARKS COMING OFF IT AS IT DISAPPEARS.

NEW SHOT OF THE JUNGLE, AS ANIMAL NOISES CAN BE HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND AS THE TIME MACHINE POPS INTO THE SHOT, FOLLOWED BY A LOT OF SMOKE AND DUST. THE FIGURE OF THE MAN CAN BE SEEN WALKING TOWARDS THE CAMERA AS THE SMOKE CLEARS. THE CAMERA PANS OUTWARDS AND UPWARDS, USING THE CRANE, AND THE MAN LOOKS UP JOYFULLY.

MAN

'HA HA HA! Now to begin!'

THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO THE SHOT OF THE MAN WITH THE TIME MACHINE BEHIND HIM, AS HE HEARS A THUMP, THUMP, THUMP GETTING CLOSER. THE CAMERA CAPTURES A DIFFERENT ANGLE OF THE MAN LOOKING ROUND FOR EVERY THUMP THAT IS HEAD, LOOKING TERRIFIED. A VELOCIRAPTOR STICKS UP OUT OF A NEARBY BUSH AND TILTS ITS HEAD TO LOOK AT HIM, BEFORE STARTING TO WALK FORWARDS. THE MAN NOW LOOKS HAPPY.

MAN

'HA HA HA!!'

THE VELOCIRAPTOR THEN LETS OUT A NOISE THAT ECHOS SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE JUNGLE AND THE BUSHES START TO RUSTLE AND MAKE NOISES AROUND HIM. THE CAMERA CUTS TO THE MANS POINT OF VIEW AS ABOUT 10 MORE STICKS THERE HEADS OUT THE OTHER BUSHES ALL AROUND HIM AND START TO WALK FORWARDS. THE CAMERA CUTS BACK TO SHOW THE MAN AND MORE BEHIND HIM AS HE REALISES HE'S MADE A MISTAKE. 

MAN

'Ohh fu-'

CUTS TO CREDITS.
