Presentation 1 - 22/04/2010

We had Presentation on that day, and we were supposed to present our three ideas. My first ideas was about this "three bottles of milk" story, where there was a lady in white who went into a store and steal a bottle of milk from the dairy section. The store man noticed it but failed to catch her for the first two times. When the third times came, the store man got ready and followed her all the way to a cemetery. The lady was nowhere to be seen and he heard a baby's cry, it was coming from a tomb and he decided to dig it out. Below the tomb was a alive baby and three empty bottles of milk.

My second idea was a man who got stared by an old lady in supermarket, he got freaked out but the old lady approached him and claimed that he look like his past away son. He requested the man to shout "goodbye mum" when she left and he agreed. He did so when she left and he moved forward to pay for his item. To his surprised, the amount exceeded what he supposed to pay, and he realized that he was being cheated by the old lady.

My third idea was an old lady who stay alone in a deserted place after his husband past away. Her love for jigsaw puzzle never change, and she would stay up all day to fix the jigsaw puzzle, moreover there were no television at that time and there were no signal for audio due to her location. She completed the jigsaw puzzle one after and after and one fine day, she used up all her puzzle. Feeling upset and got nothing to do, she went to bed early and she heard a loud thud sound. Out of curiosity, she found a parcel lying on the floor. She picked it out and realized it was jigsaw puzzle, being excited she did not bother who send it to her or what will be the picture be. She sat down and fixed it. The picture look familiar as she fixed along and it was the picture of her sitting in the living room. With the last few pieces left, it's revealed a strong man holding an axe standing at the window behind her. The breaking of the glass was the last thing that can be heard.


I did not chose the first idea as i felt that it was hard to find a cemetery especially i need to dig out a big hole that is enough for the size of coffin, and it is kind of difficult and lots of man power needed to do so. We did not have much time so i dropped this idea.

I did not chose the second idea as well as this film had been done several times and i think it will be boring if i do this again, and i wanted to did a different film that most probably no one had done before.

So that led me to choose my third idea when i found out that i can play with different area and the story enable me to have objective and message that can bring forward to the audience. Especially i can play with different shots with the help of jigsaw puzzle.

That's how i chose my idea.
