    Is there a way to make a similar introduction like that when we see it in paramount pictures movies where a number of stars move around a mountain and form a circle at the end…
    thank you in advance

    This (over a year old) tutorial by Eran Stern should help you: https://library.creativecow.net/articles/stern_eran/MOTS_Part_1.php

    Be warned, however: it’s not exactly what you want, as the stars go the wrong direction and never stop moving. You should be able to figure out a way to fix those issues if you follow the tutorial.

    Yes. It is possible.

    What part of it are you curious about?

    Oh. It’s just basic animation in After Effects.
    In order to get them all falling in place you could make one layer do the movement all the way to the farthest point and duplicate it, offset the duplicates in time, and then when each duplicate reaches the point you want it to stop just add another keyframe there and delete any keyframes past that point.
    (That’s just one way…I can think of several)
