-THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA:IMPOSSIBLE MANUSCRIPT SCENE:


1        INT. RUNWAY - HALLWAY 

        

         ANDY walks in holding MIRANDA’S coffee , we follow it    down the hall and see it being set on MIRANDA’S desk.


  And beside it lands boom! A manuscript.


1A        INT. RUNWAY - MIRANDA’S OFFICE -- DAY. 

 

          MIRANDA, looking at the manuscript. 


          And then we see ANDY. She stands there, quiet, calm. 


          And if MIRANDA is amazed by what ANDY did, she                             doesn’t show it. She looks up at ANDY. 


                            MIRANDA 

One copy? What are my twins supposed to do with that... share?

                  

ANDY

 Oh no, I made two copies. And had them covered, re-set and bound so they wouldn’t look like manuscripts. This is an extra copy to have on file, you know, just in case. 


           She smiles. MIRANDA nods, but still won’t concede the point.


  MIRANDA 

And where exactly are those fabulous copies? I don’t see them anywhere. 

2          INT. TRAIN -- DAY.


           The Metro-North from New York City to Bedford. 


           In the front row, we see two girls in matching outfits with two matching Harry Potter manuscripts. The twins, with their NANNY beside them. 


ANDY

They’re with the twins, now on the train on their way to grandma’s





3          INT. RUNWAY - MIRANDA’S OFFICE -- DAY. 


            ANDY smiles at MIRANDA. Her faith in herself restored. 


ANDY

 (brightly)

 Anything else I can do for you? 


 MIRANDA

(Stunned) 

HM-MN.


            MIRANDA shakes her head slightly as she fidgets with her glasses.


MIRANDA

That’s all.

            MIRANDA says as she looks ANDY up and down and swivels her chair back towards the window.

ANDY

 (smugly)

 Okay. 

            ANDY walks out. 

                                                                                                                                                                       

-Explanation:

The scene includes Miranda, head editor at Runway, the top fashion company in New York City, and Andy, her new assistant. After being Mirandas assistant for a while, her competency is testing one last time as Miranda orders her to get the unpublished manuscript of the latest harry potter book for her twins or never come back. But surprisingly Andy is able to get her hands on the copy and sends it to her grandchildren ahead of time, and this is where the scene picks up.

 -Blade Runner-- The poster has dark colours, there's a close-up shot of the protagonist /hero characters face with very serious and solemn expression, he is holding a gun and there is an antagonistic /non-human lady holding a cigarette. The backdrop is filled with futuristic skyscrapers and a flying car.There is a tagline saying "Man has made his match...now its his problem,", The title of the film is in a bold font, the movie is R-rated. The culmination of the colours,the weapon prop  and the rating of the movie shows that its for adults and could include graphic or sexual content. Protagonists and antagonists are binary opposites , communicated by the drastic change in lighting and further supported as the antagonist is stereo-typically holding a cigarette. The tagline tells the audience that the narrative may be one about human arrogance and hubris and there is science fiction elements to the film, supported by the high-angle shot of the futuristic backdro...

- T he Grand Budapest Hotel:   C-The costume of the character is not highlighted at all, except for the characters hat and glasses, that are reflecting some light, bringing attention to them. The use of enigma codes through the use of back lighting to create a contrasting silhouette shrouds the scene in mystery and adds to the suspense of the scene. The costume of the character that is shown connotes academia due to the glasses, professional hat and coat. L-The contrasting lighting of the scene guides the audiences attention to the both the figure and the background, it raises question of who the character is, what they're motives are, what is the setting and overall adds to tension of the scene. A-The actor is placed at the centre of the scene with a medium shot of him standing still and there is a use of action codes , the audience is made to believe that violence is coming due to the dark and de-saturated colouring of the scene and the fact that the character is looking...
