The MilkMan (Story Changes/Expanding)

I have also come up with some different idea in which i can change some aspects of the story.
The main difference is on the actually character of the milkman. I have notice that the history of the character may need more of an explanation.

One way i can change the story is by showing that the milkman is an Martial arts expert who has escaped his home country where he was an 'elder' at a temple. He escaped because he destroyed the temple and the whole village turned to take revenge. He found England as a safe-haven and has been posing as a milkman ever since.

Another direction in which i could take the movie is to make the milkman into a vigilante. After he beats two of the friends, he then hears the story of the dilemmas the friends are in and decides to help them to beat the crime boss.

It not just the character that can change, i could also take the movie in a complete new direction. when the friend and the milkman have a stand off, the owner of the house is awaken by the noise and knocks out the milkman and the friend. he then locks them up in his basement and the two have to work together in order to survive.

Storyboard

This was a rough storyboard to how the movie will be planned out.

The first scene will be the friends approaching the milkman




After this the story will go into flashback sequences for each of the friends tell the viewers of how they go into this situation





the flashback sequence will lead us to where the story began. To which e story will continue and the friends will fight with the milkman



The final scene will be of one of the friend attacking the milkman and the milkman in the air trying to kick him. the scene will freeze before they make contact and the movie will end.

The MilkMan (Storyboarding Idea)

I have a couple of ideas in which the movie (The MilkMan - Previous blog) will be shot.

The first idea will be shot and the story is told using real time, such as Reservoir Dog (1992) or Crank (2006). The story follow them as they prepare to rob the milkman.

Another way the movie could be shot is by using flashback. The movie opens up with the three friend approaching the milkman. the story then uses flashback to tell each of the friend story. It will also show the story of the milkman.

Also the movie could be told using a voice-over as a character device. The story can be old from the point of view of one of the friends. This technique will make the auidence more bias towards the character who is giving the voice-over.

The MilkMan

The milkman is a movie idea. It is about three friends who are in debt with a local crime boss and need a quick way to make some money. They decided that they are going to rob The local milkman, who delivers to nearly everyone. They find out the milkman collect all the money on a monthly basis. The milkman makes his money collections rounds on a night and then delivers the milk the following morning. The Three friend think this is a good idea as when he delivers his milk no one is around to see, it is still fairly dark and he will have the money with him from the night before. The three friend agree and are ready to go through with it. They then start to prepare. The day arrives and they are hiding out ready to rob the milkman. The milkman parks his van in a street and carries the milk for the whole street with him. The three friend assume the money will be in the van. They silently break in and quickly realise that the money is not there. They then come to the conclusion that the milkman will have the money on him. They sneak up on the milkman while he is putting the milk down, and without turning around he warns them not to do it if they want to live. The three friend look at each other and start laughing. The Milkman turns around and is attacked by one of the friends he protects himself and breaks his arm with ease. The two another friends panic and in rage another friend attack the milkman, He then again hits the attacker and knocks him out. The last friend standing is amazed and ask him where did he learn to fight like that. The milkman says that it is none of his business and tells him to fight or run. The friend then tells him he sorry and tries to explain why they are doing it. After listening to his reason the milkman laughs. The friend then say 'the hell with it' and they both run to each other, the milkman jumps and delieves a flying kick while the friend goes to punch. The movie ends.

John Mayer - Who Says

This is the music video by John Mayer Called 'Who Says' which was officially release in October 13 2009




The song’s music video show two side to the life of a rock star the first has sexy entourage, late-night pool parties, young people dancing on banquettes and the other shows him alone in his apartment, cleaning up and playing on his guitar. The video show that being famous is not a glamorous as it look.

Madusa

I took this image of a women which was spray painted on a wall in Bradford. The image is of a women who looks like Medusa. Medusa was once very beautiful and lived far in the north were the sun didn't visit. Being very curious, she wanted to see the sun, and asked the Goddess Athena for permission to visit the south. Athena refused to allow her to visit. Then Medusa got angry and dared to say that Athena hadn't given her permission because she was jealous of her beauty. that was it, Athena was angered and punished her by turning her hair into snakes and cursing her by making her so ugly that who ever looks at her eyes would turn into stone, ironic as it was painted on a wall.


Caravaggio painted two versions of Medusa, the first in 1596 and the other was painted around 1597, The first version also known as Murtula, by the name of the poet who wrote about it is signed Michel A F, (Michel Angelo Fecit) and is in private hands whilst the second version, slightly bigger is not signed.

In Greek mythology, Perseus used the severed snake-haired head of the Gorgon Medusa as a shield with which to turn his enemies to stone. By the 16th century Medusa was said to symbolize the triumph of reason over the senses.

The Incident (Location Idea)

I took this image in Bradford. It has a very dark tone, giving the feeling that this is an abandoned place. There is rubbish lying around, in the distance we can see a rubbish skip. The top part of the image is of a roof which has cracks in it and it allows some light in, this gives the image a dark and dingy atmosphere. The floor is also stained with what seems like oil. The place seems run down and may not have been used for a long time. I think this would be a good location to shoot the movie idea from previous blog entitled 'The Incident' as it has the right feel for what the subject matter covers. The location can be used as the two characters hide out, sleeping and/or storage area as it compliments the dark storyline.
