Adaption:



          The screenplay I read was Devils Wear Prada, and I was amazed at the detail in the script. One could visualize the transitions and envision what the outfits could look like. I would choose to be the costume designer for this film is so focused on the fashion. I would enjoy researching what was in the latest shows at the time, the main pieces of fashion, and take inspiration from that. I love the juxtaposition of Andy at the beginning of the film compared to the other models of high fashion at the company. Looking at the screenplay from an actor’s point of view, I can see the how relatable Andy is without seeing a performance. The way her lines and actions are described, I see how audience members would instantly fall for her and care about her as a character. I find that pretty cool, and with a good performance from the actress, this can only enhance the movie’s enjoyment.
Goose Father


Most essential visual moments:

·      Setting: Apartment-balcony, Karaoke
·      Main theme: His loneliness, missing his family after 6 months and needed contact
·      Color scheme – cool greys and blue where the boy would have a cool palate
·      Protagonist: Gilho
·      Ages would be changed to 25 and 35
·      Scenes:
o   Need to establish that he has a family and that he is sending money to them / show his loneliness
o   The arrival of the boy – sitting on the door matt
o   He hates the goose – the boy never mentioned a goose
o   6 the next morning - boy made breakfast (uncomfortable to see a man preforming a woman’s role) – talks about his poetry
o   Walks in on the boy talking to the goose, tells him that the goose is his mom reincarnated – shows the difference in their thoughts
o   Montage – of the boy clinging to him, sponge on his feet saying poems
o   The boy felt emotional after watching a whale documentary, he took him to karaoke to cheer him up

o   The boy is home – the snow begins to fall, there is a glow in the room
o   Taeyeong tried to pluck a feather from the goose
o   Gilho thought about killing the goose, choking it, but he didn’t – he compares himself to the goose
o   Then the goose mom scene – He asked the goose for forgiveness, he sees the goose as the boy’s mom – he sees life through the eyes of the boy
§  He saw the silhouette of a woman before he walked out on the balcony – but then when he goes out on the balcony it just the goose
§  Everything has a glow, there’s a full moon, everything has a warm glow, which contrasts the cool scheme the movie had before
o   Gilho says his final lines to the boy/ “I’ve been lonely, I’ve been lonely all my life”
