Help! How to do a basic cinematic?

Basically, I want to have an introduction to my game. Nothing advanced, real simple. But how do I go about doing this?

For example: What I want is for a person (lets call him the King) needs to move across the map and into another room. He then speaks to a guard who leaves the room (camera following this guard) out of the castle and into the town, where it shows him posting a message on a bulletin board.


No fancy graphics, nothing special. Just movement. One issue that came to mind is... what do I do with the player? Can I make them invisible and make it so that they cannot move or go into the menu during this time?
 
Make the player invisible and use the Set Route event command and it can do everything you want, then just set the messages when the movement is complete and it'll work like a normal event. I'll try and explain a bit better later on with images or whatever but I'm in a bit of a rush now, just post back if you don't understand.
