Hey Ting! I think there's something lovely and fantastical about your three components and I'm instantly reminded of Charles Kingsley's novel, The Water-Babies, in which a little boy falls into the river and then encounters lots of magical underwater creatures... I can imagine how a deep-sea fisherman might end up falling over-board... maybe finding an 'underwater circus' - where you imagine a circus where the performing elephants are whales and the clowns are 'clownfish' etc...
maybe the locket belongs to a lovely mermaid (or merman!?!) and the deep-sea fisherman is given it to remember her/him by... perhaps your story starts with the locket and the rest of your story is a flashback? I guess my broad point is that, in animation terms (and in design terms!) it might be exciting to consider setting your story-world under the sea...
I like that idea of the deep-sea fisherman dropping the locket into the sea - maybe he is unhappy because he's lost his wife or daughter or whatever, and he decides he is too unhappy to live without them, so jumps off his boat into the sea... only for his adventure under the water to remind him that life is worth living after all?
