Part two

Of the Jack and the beanstalk that I put to story board.

I will share this section of the script.

And a little bit extra for some context.

Though it is Jack and the beanstalk, so I think very few people would need any more extra context.

---from scene 3

(Bc = boy child, Gc = Girl child they have like two or so important scenes)

B child 2: “ she speaks the truth, how’s a coward like you going to get through the scary woods, there’s wolves and highway men in there.”

Jack: “I’ll manage, I’ve sweet-pea with me.”

G child 1: “what if she gets eaten by a giant?” B child 1: “if your so brave with her how’ya gonna’ get back?”

Jack: “I’ll catch a ride with someone or something” jack huffed and moved along faster, sweet-pea protests when the speed is picked up. B child 2: “well if a giant eats him and the cow his mother will not have any more worries.” the voices of the children grow quieter as camera looks straight on jack as he approaches the camera but gets further away from the other kids who are still talking behind him.

Gc1: “stop talking about giants! They scare me” Gc2: “why you so scared, you think they will come an’ ground your bones to flour” Gc1 squawks in fear

Bc2: “don’t be silly, there’s not any giants in the kingdom no more.”

Gc3: “nuh-hu, my pa says the guard saw one, in the hills the other day.” Gc2: “your pa’s a liar, but there are storm giants.” Gc3: “take that back, an’ it’s not like storm giants do anything.” voices become indistinguishable, jack is seen to pass by a few farmhouses and some travelers pushing a hay cart out of the mud. Montages until he reaches the edge of a looming forest.

A long shot shows jack dwarfed by the trees that he looks up on. POV shot we see a signpost that points several directions. One of which says “Giant’s slumber forest, and another one pointing the same direction saying Hattsfeild 12 Miles. closeup of jack, he can be heard to gulp. Before closing his eyes, clenching his fists and whispering to himself. jack: “I am no coward, I am no coward, I can go through the forest.” long shot, we see the small jack lead his white cow into the forest.

Scene 4

Exterior in the dappled yellow green light of the forest. Jack is walking towards the camera leading his cow. The camera cuts to a medium shot where we can see a slight smile on jack’s face. jack: “this isn’t too bad now is it sweet-pea” the cow dose not respond. Jack jumps as something in the bushes scare him. A fox carrying a dead bird scurries out Infront of him. Jack relaxes as the creature looks at him before scurrying off. Jack covers his eyes with his hand and laughs nervously jack: “a fox, I got scared by a little fox. I was so afraid it was a giant.” the magician “what’s wrong with giants?” jack yelps and jumps back at the stranger. jack:” uugh… nothing really, the other kids in town where just frightening me with stories.” the magician: “of giants?” we get a good look of the person sitting on a stump and smoking a pipe. A long walking stick is laid beside them, and they have a lot of small bags and a knife on their belt. A golden medallion can be seen hanging around their neck. A large round brimmed grey witch-hat sits on their head, they are wearing brown-red Light Blue robes, and a thick long pair of gloves the magician: “what’s your name boy?”Jack: “I’m ja… wait your not some magician are you?” jack says gesturing to indicates the magician’s hat. the magician: “you are an observant one, aren’t you? Yes I’m the Magician.”

jack: “my mom says you shouldn’t give your name to magicians, as they can do things to you if you give them your name.” The magician: “Mother’s smart to warn you, you’re smart for rememberin’” the magician stands up they’re tall and they dumps out the pipe. Stomping out the burning fibers. magician: “are you headed to Hattsfeild? I’ll keep you company… no giants or brigands will bother you while I’m with you.” Jack: “I am, How did you know? Did you use your demon powers to read my mind? Or my future?” the magician laughs, but simply shakes their head the Magician “no, no, nothing like that, this road leads only to Hattsfeild,” Jack: “oh, sorry.”

His face slumps a bit. the magician: “you have nothing to apologize boy”

They walk along in silence for a minute. Some wildlife of the forest is seen scurrying under root, three deer with large antlers stop and observe them pass. All seen from a long shot framing the characters behind the first layer of tree’s silhouette.

After a moment the camera cuts to the magician’s face as they speak

The Magician: “so what brings a youth like you out here on your lonesome?” cuts to jack as he looks up at the magician

Jack: “I’m going to market to sell our cow.” The magician: “this here cow?” jack: “yes”

(cut to) the magician: “a pure white cow, lots of things a pure white cow is good for, dose she give milk?” (cut to) jack, hesitates: “she gives good milk.” he kicks a pebble by the road, a low angle shot shows us the magicians skeptical face. jack: “there’s no use lying to you is there?” the magician says nothing so jack continues jack: “she no longer gives milk, but she is my best friend.” The Magician: “is that so? Well, how much do you want for her?” jack: “no more than five shingles.” The Magician: “that’s all?” Jack: “oh wait no I spoke wrong, No Less than five shingles” the magician “ah.” jack: “oh and whoever wants to buy her, I’m seposto give ‘em this letter.” jack takes the cow’s lead in his mouth as he uses both hands to riffle through the bag to pull out the letter, handing it to the magician.

The Magician: “is it alright if I read this?” jack: “well if you are asking about the price, you might be interested in her right? So, you may as well read it. Though I can’t know what a magician would want with a cow.” the magician nods, unfolds the paper and starts to read the words on the page. Their face grows concerned and they start glancing over at jack, then back to the letter. the magician: “did your mother write this?” jack: “she did, why?” the Magician: “just curious. Hay, if you will let me, I can read your future and tell you if you will get a good price for your best friend, and tell you that she will go to a good household.” jack: “you would do that for me?!” The Magician: “certainly why not?” Jack: “oh yes, thank you!” the magician: “what polite manners” the magician reaches out one of their hands and tugs the glove off. Revealing a hand with long fingers, blackened to half up the forearm, and long sharp fingernails. They and jack slow down to a stop. the Magician: “ok, close your eyes and give me your hand” jack obeys, as jack rests his hand in the magician’s the magician’s eyes go black and their skin seems to turn blue. cut to a different art style, as the visions are narrated out. the magician: “today if you go to sell your cow at the market you will receive three offers for your cow, the first is from an ogre in disguise, he will give you good money for the cow once you show him the letter. Though he will not give her a good home, the second offer will be a fair one, from a young couple, but once they learn that you lied about the cow giving milk, they will be furious, and things will not end well for your mother or you. The third offer will be from a lone woman, she will simply make you an offer under the price that you ask.”

The Magician removes their hand from jack’s and returned to the previous appearance the magician: “you can open your eyes now.” jack: “none of that looked good,”

He shuddered. “how far in the future do you see?” the magician: “Never more than a week, only the most likely outcome.” jack looks concerned. He looks back at his cow and pets her gently. jack: “how awful it all sounds.” The magician: There is a fourth option I didn’t show you. Jack: what? What is the other option? The Magician: you can sell her to me, there’s lot of things I can do with a white cow, and I would treat her well. Jack: but she can’t give milk the Magician: that is no problem for me. jack seems to consider the option. Jack: “Ok, I’ll agree to it. Though Only if you Promise that you will take only the best care of Sweet-pea.”

The magician: No Cow shall live finer final years of her life. Now what to do for payment.

The magician starts looking through the many different pockets on their belt. The magician: let’s see, no not that, too dangerous, not right, Ah! Eurequa this is it. the magician pulls from a pocket a gold embroidered handkerchief. Jack looks at it confused until the magician unwraps the contents of the kerchief. three white beans they shine and shift with many colors. the magician whispers: Magic Beans jack: magic Beans?The magician shushes him the Magician: “yes, magic beans, very powerful. Rather unassuming and small, though I find it is the smallest things that often tend to bring the biggest results. jack: are they worth five shingles?

The Magician: much more! They will solve all your problems for you. Though of course you will need to put some of your own work as well. A fair cow for some fair beans. Jack: all our problems? The Magician: the ones you have right now yes, though be clever in how you use them. jack: Alright, I’ll trade you my cow for some beans.

Jack handed the magician Sweet-peas lead and the magician jack his beans. Jack leaned down and hugged his beloved cow once more. She in turn gave him another cow lick. Jack giggled

Cut to the magician’s face giving a small smile. The Magician: So it is done.

Long shot, The magician began leading the cow back the way they came from the magician: let me at least lead you back to the edge of the forest. Scene 5

Jack is seen emerging out of the forest same shot as before, empty handed, but he seems to be in a good mood. He passes the wagon stuck in the mud again and gives them a hand pulling it out. Before continuing the rest of the way home. Three of the kids are still at the wall. Boy child 1: You are back already jumping jack?” Girl child 2: “That was fast? Did your cow get eaten by a giant?” jack: “no” Boy child 2: “My sister is right. How are you back so fast? It’s a few hours walk there and back” jack: “I meet someone halfway through the woods, they offered to by my cow from me.” boy 2: “they did?” jack: “yes, I have to hurry home now, so I can show my mom.” girl child 2 after jack has run almost out of earshot: I hope he got a good price for her Boy child 2: who would pay a good price for a milk less cow? the girl shrugs.
